early dwarf (pumila) irises. WAR EAGLE must 
have a few words of comment. One can gain some¬ 
what of an idea the quality of this huge red var¬ 
iety when we say the demand during the 1933 sea¬ 
son far exceeded the supply at $20.00 per single 
rhizome. Easily twice the size of many of the so- 
called large varieties. If it has a fault would say it 
is too profuse a bioomer. How we wish more oi 
these large flowered varieties had this fault. 
Mr. H. P. Sass, also producer of many fine mod¬ 
ern irises including Rameses, the Dykes Medal win¬ 
ner in 1932, is each year releasing new varieties of 
outstanding quality, including the greatest variety 
of fail blooming irises yet introduced by any one 
breeder. He is maintaining his high standard of 
quality in this strain, and is doing a real service foi 
future generations of iris fans. A very nice variety 
of these are being shown in my garden and as they 
all make excellent showing during the spring bloom 
visitors are invited to give special attention to this 
new strain of irises. One in particular I like very 
much, ULTRA. A dwarf, yet large enough both in 
plant and size of bloom to be very beautiful. The 
clear blue, being almost as true blue as is found in 
the delphiniums, is especially pleasing with the pink 
darwin tulips. 
Included in this list will be found several moder¬ 
ately priced varieties not in last years list. These 
have been in the garden under test and have satis¬ 
factorily met general garden requirements neces¬ 
sary to recommend them to loca 1 trade. Many are 
now under such test not included in the list. If a 
a particular variety is wanted, ask about it, more 
than likely it is growing right here in the garden. 
Gardens and the folks who work in gardens 
These are my friends , 
Along some garden walk I visit and I talk. 
Till Autumn ends — 
And in the winter time I read 
My catalog of gardens seeds.
