COMPLETE LIST OF NEW AND 
STANDARD VARIETIES 
T HE prices unless otherwise designated are for single roots. The group price as with 
Alameda, 3 for $1.00, is applicable only to three Alameda, not to three different varieties 
at the same price. It is much quicker and easier to ship three roots' of one variety than one 
root of three different varieties that may have to be dug in three different gardens. 
See Pages 3 and 21 for Special Collections 
Alameda (Mohr-Mitchell). A large plicata with 
both standards and falls heavily suffused 
blue violet on white. A profuse bloomer_

that is entirely hardy, and one of the very 
first iris to bloom. Color lilac, with beautiful 
veinings.$1.00; 3 for $2.50 
Alta California (Mitchell 1931). This fine iris 
which we introduced three seasons ago has 
completely justified all of our lavish predic¬ 
tions. It still remains supreme as the most 
worthwhile tall yellow iris, excepting Happy 
Days, which is of completely different form 
and color. Alta California forms one of the 
most compelling of all the plantings in our 
garden. See illustration on front cover. 
Totally distinct from even the newest yel¬ 
lows. Clear yellow, faintly bronzed, with 
stems superbly branched. Blooms of good 
size, and texture so firm that neither rain 
nor sun mar the stately blossoms. 48".. $5.00 
Alvarado. Blue.20c; 3 for 35c 
Ambassador. Bronze. Medium tall. Widely 
branched. Late blooming.25c; 3 for 50c

size, heavy substance, and perfect form. The 
color effect is red-violet. Plant vigorous and 
hardy. Early blooming.75c; 3 for $1.75 
Anna-Marie Cayeux (Cayeux 1928). A re¬ 
markable iris of fine form and fine finish, 
flowers large, and of unusually heavy sub¬ 
stance. A most delicate blending of colors 
described as pigeon-throat violet. Color 
from Ridgway-Chinese violet. A truly out¬ 
standing new iris.$2.50 
Ann Page. A lovely pale lavender blue self of 
fine form, good substance and delicious per¬ 
fume. Well branched. 36".25c; 3 for 50c 
Argynnis (Williamson). Clear bright yellow 
with falls of chestnut red, with narrow yel¬ 
low edge.25c; 3 for 50c 
Asia (Yeld). A beautiful silvery lavender 
blend, lit by a bright yellow beard. An iris 
of great elegance and deserved popularity. 
Blooms mid-season to late.25c; 3 for 50c 
Aurea. Beardless. A tall deep yellow of the 
spuria type, often referred to as the butter¬ 
fly iris. Begins blooming towards the latter 
part of the bearded iris season. Makes an 
excellent cut flower. Foliage long and sword 
like. The plants like much more water during 
the blooming season than do the bearded. 
Fall is the proper time for separating this 
iris, and they should be planted as soon as 
received.60c; 3 for $1.20 
Aurifero (Mohr-Mitchell). The standards are 
tall and of pale lavender, the broad rosy 
lavender falls are of fine finish. A brilliant 
gold beard gives a warm glow to the center. 
Large flowers. Rampant growth. 42". 
.25c; 3 for 50c

and falls Van Dyke red.$1.00

the margins. Falls broad and deeper in color. 
Very fragrant.25c; 3 for 50c 
Bandollero. Light blue.20c; 3 for 35c 
Bellorio (Mohr). A slender graceful flower of 
grayed lavender. Very early and suitable for 
rock gardens.25c; 3 for 50c 
Black Wings (Kirkland 1931). First intro¬ 
duced as Satan, prince of darkness, the 
“almost blackness” of the flower warranted 
the name, but finally re-named “Black 
Wings.” Good size and form, with flaring 
falls 4 by equal height. Color almost 
black, owing to the black veining on Fluorite 
violet. Hardy, and does not fade. One of the 
standouts in our garden—an iris which we 
can give full commendation. 30".$5.00 
Blue Banner (Kirkland 1929). The general 
tone of this iris is a beautiful clear light blue 
with violet falls edged light blue. 
.$1.00; 3 for $2.50 
Blue Velvet (Loomis). A rich clear deep vel¬ 
vety blue self of splendid substance and un¬ 
usual beauty. The plants are vigorous, and 
the growth is tall. This fine iris has re¬ 
ceived unstinted praise.$2.00 
Bravura (Mohr). Large well placed flowers of 
deep rosy lilac, well branched stems. Sub¬ 
stance excellent and plant vigorous. 40"_
