MOUNT ROYAL (Morgan 1929) M. 36" V.F. A 
new and remarkable dark purple of fine form. S. 
deep, bluish violet; F. very velvety, rich, red 
pansy violet. The flowers have fine substance and 
the garden effect is amazingly lovely. $ .35 
MRS. EDWARD HARDING (Perry 1925) M. 42". 
A very beautiful dark Pallida. We grow more 
fond of it every year we grow it. The flowers are 
large, well shaped and of fine substance, and 
withstand wind and rain very well. S. violet 
purple, F. velvety dark blue purple, overlaid 
black, bronze yellow beard. An exceptionally fine 
variety and we strongly recommend it. $ .50 
MRS. HERBERT HOOVER (Home 1930) 38" M. 
A lovely new blend. The flowers are of good size 
and fine form, and a delightful salmon and buff 
mixture, giving it a color effect somewhere be¬ 
tween Frivolite and Marquisette. There is a dis¬ 
tinct brilliant blue midrib which gives it distinc¬ 
tion. Several flowers open at one time, and we 
judge the variety is a prolific bloomer, as we had 
three bloom stalks on a one year plant. $8.00 
MRS. ROBERT EMMET (Perry 1925) E. 38" 
S.F. One of the best whites. Stout stems bearing 
large flowers of great substance and a delightful 
shade of milk white, with a brilliant yellow beard. 
This iris is remarkable for its branching quality, 
of the candelabrum type. It is unusually florifer- 
ous and often has 7 to 8 flowers open at once. 
Perfectly hardy. $ .40 
MRS. VALERIE WEST (Bliss 1925) M. 42" F. 
A Dominion seedling generally acknowledged as 
the Bliss masterpiece. The flowers are large and 
finely held on strong branching stems. S. broad 
and arching, of violet, suffused bronze. F. a rich, 
velvety crimson maroon. A beautiful iris for all 
purposes. The most floriferous variety we know. 
$ .90 
NENE (Nen) (Cayeux 1928). This is the largest 
iris we have seen. It is gigantic in every way. 
The flowers are enormous, over 9 inches in length, 
but the shape is splendid. The flowers are borne 
on stems over two inches in circumference, well 
divided into two or four branches. S. soft clear 
rose lilac, F. vinous red, lighter at the margin. 
A very impressive variety, and in spite of its 
large size, it does not flop, but stands up until 
the end of the bloom. $1.50 
NEPENTHE (Connell 1931) M. 30". A subtle, 
pale blend of medium height. S. soft buff flushed 
lavender. F. very long and of the same shade, but 
flushed rosy lavender. 
H.M.A.I.S. 1932. $3.50 
NO-WE-TA (H. P. Sass 1932) M. 36". An ex¬ 
quisite flower of Midgard type. Of medium size 
and height. A delicate shade of rose flushed yel¬ 
low at the center. The entire flower is softly 
frilled. A distinct and beautiful variety. $3.50 
NUMA ROUMESTAN (Noo-ma Roo-mes-tan) 
(Cayeux 1928) L. 36" V.F. This is an intensely 
red iris; a somber rich red; a perfect self color, 
with the standards and falls equally red. It has 
a stout and widely branched stem. Both the stan¬ 
dards and falls are deeply frilled. The flowers 
are not as large as Dauntless, but the color is 
redder and more uniform. A beautiful and dis¬ 
tinct variety which we strongly recommend. $1.00 
NURMAHAL (Nichols 1931) M. 38". A rich deep 
brown of fine substance. S. dark bronze overlaid 
violet, broad and arched; F. of blackish brown 
with violet shading, broad and velvety. Low and 
well branched and a good grower. $5.00 
OPHELIA (Cayeux 1925) M. 36". One of the most 
beautiful of the modern iris. The color is inde¬ 
scribably charming and subtle. A delicious medley 
of warm orange, cream, mauve and bronze tints, 
lit up by a warm orange beard. It is perfectly 
exquisite. This variety has achieved a growing 
popularity and should be in every garden. 
$ .35; 3 for $ .90 
OREGON BEAUTY (Kleinsorge) M. 38". One of 
the new Kleinsorge seedlings which have attract¬ 
ed much attention on the Pacific Coast. A very 
large flower on a strong stem. S. soft aconite 
violet; F. bright velvety Cotinga purple; heavy 
gold beard. The flowers have good substance, and 
one of the outstanding features is the heavy mid¬ 
rib through the falls which gives them more body 
and adds to the substance of the flower. $2.00 
OREGON GIANT (Kleinsorge 1930) M. 42". A 
large bloom on a tall stalk. Really a giant for 
size. S. a pleasing shade of reddish purple, rise 
well above widely flaring falls of velvety blackish 
purple. The center of the flower is lighted by a 
rich golden beard. In our opinion the best of the 
Kleinsorge seedlings which we have seen. $2.00

orous iris bearing tall, well branched stalks of 
pale campanula blue, uniform throughout. The
