Irises for 
California Gardens 
After a trial of nearly all of the older varieties as well as many 
of the newer introductions, we are prepared to recommend those 
best adapted to our climate, such as the Asia Minor varieties and 
their hybrids and the mid-winter blooming varieties. 
For larger plantings for color effect, there is nothing 
finer than the tall Pallidas, such as Albert Victor, 
Tineae, etc. They produce a beautiful sea of color, 
scintillating in the light like a calm body of water 
— a restful, peaceful scene. Others are more 
suitable for smaller plantings. 
Iris unguicularis (stylosa) is a joy for several 
months, blooming most profusely in Dec. -Jan. We 
have many testimonials in regard to this Iris. “I 
was the envy of my neighbors all winter with my 
stylosa.” “If I could have but one Iris I think it 
would be stylosa, because it blooms when flowers 
are not so plentiful.” Etc., etc. They combine 
so nicely with other flowers for table decorations. 
Our native California Irises are most desirable for 
naturalizing, just as desirable in every way as a 
spring bloomer as stylosa is for winter, which they 
resemble in size and form of flower and also foliage. They however 
cover a much wider range of color, running through white, cream, 
yellow, pink, rose, mauve, purple and violet. 
To those residing in the semi-arid regions on the desert, who crave 
flowers, and find but few adapted to their conditions, we would say, 
do not be afraid to plant liberally of the Irises — they will be a 
pleasant surprise to you if you have not tried them. 
Our new price list will be issued shortly. Please write for it NOW.

Doesn’t that name suggest a keynote for your 
garden of 1922? Flowers never seem more at home 
than when planted in this informal manner. All the Tu- 
lips in this display are described in “The Blue Book of 
Bulbs.” There too, you will find Daffodils and Hyacinths 
in abundance. Send 2 5 cents for acopy (deduct it from your 
first order amounting to $2.50) and learn why the term 
. “Cream-Quality” was coined to describe our bulbs. ,
