MIDWINTER-FLOWERING IRISES 
Midwinter-flowering Irises are novelties of the greatest merit. They have flowered 
continuously at "The Terraces" this cold winter. There was frost day after day will) 
16 degrees as a low point. Snow was on them over a week and yet they produced lovely 
flowers which would be prized in Iris season. 
The leaves of Iris stylosa are 2 feet long and form clumps like our wild Irises. 
The flower-stems are often 8 inches long and the open flowers 3^ to 4K inches across. 
S. clear soft lilac; F. white, beautifully veined purple at the center, while the outer 
half is soft lilac, deepening inward to rich purple. They are very fragrant. Strong 
plants, 25 cts. each, $2 per doz. 
Iris stylosa var. angustifolia is of more slender habit with dark blue flowers. Large 
plants, 50 cts. each; good plants, 25 cts. each. 
ORNAMENTAL SEEDED IRISES 
Iris fcetidissima, or Gladwyn, has fine evergreen foliage. The flowers are not pretty, 
but in the late fall the seed-pods open out to show rows of scarlet seeds of much beauty. 
They are much prized as winter decorations. 20 cts. each, $2 per doz. 
Ripe seed-pods of this plant can be supplied at 25 cts. each. They are everlasting 
and make beautiful decorations; much in demand. They will be shipped with stems 
a foot or so long. 
IRIS SUSIANA 
Iris susiana is an Iris with a sort of cushion-like bulb and a stout stem a foot or so 
high, with an immense, wonderfully colored flower. I find it does well in a gritty open 
soil if dried off in summer. My own crop is in early fall or winter. 20 cts. each. 
VARIOUS SPECIES OF IRIS 
Iris Pseudacorus is a water-loving, strong-growing species which bears bright yellow 
flowers on long stems; admirable for the waterside. The only sort that will grow right 
in water. 15 cts. each, $1.25 per doz. 
Iris ochroleuca is the Oriental Iris, a strong-growing form with leaves standing up 
several feet high and fine, cream-colored flowers on a still taller stem. It thrives in dry 
ground but still better near water. 25 cts. each, $1.50 per doz. 
Californian Irises can be found in my California Bulb Catalogue. Ask for a copy.
