Natividad (Mohr-Mitchell). This beautiful 
warm creamy white iris is one of Sydney B. 
Mitchell’s favorites, and rightfully so, as it 
forms the most graceful clump imaginable. 
Standards and falls creamy white, with 
center lighted clear soft yellow which is con¬ 
centrated at the base of the standards and 
falls, and in the yellow beard. 
Unusual substance and texture. This iris 
has all the poise and distinction of a bit of 
old ivory. 40".$5.00 
Nazarine. Purple violet bi-color. .20c; 3 for 35c 
NEON (Salbach 1934). This glowingly bright 
iris of perfect form is pictured in color on 
page 7 and described in “New Introduc¬ 
tions,” pages 2 and 3. 
Nereus. Light blue bi-color. Good size, and 
fine in mass.25c; 3 for 50c 
Ningal (Ayres 1932). A beautiful blend of 
warm, glistening buff set off by beard and 
reticulations of gold. Standards flushed a 
very faint pearly blue. Tall, well formed on 
nicely branched stem. 44".$5.00 
Numa Roumestan (Cayeux). A very warm 
rich coppery red iris with orange beard. 
Strong erect growing plant with flowers of 
good substance. Late flowering. Fragrant. 
36".$1.00; 3 for $2.50 
Ochracea (listed also as Sunset) (Denis). The 
standards are like cloth of gold, the falls 
the same but suffused blue violet. A strong 
grower, free flowering, very late and 
scented.25c; 3 for 50c 
Ochroleuca. Beardless. Spuria type. A tall 
variety with long slender foliage. The blooms 
are creamy white with golden yellow center.

eries will be made only at the customer’s 
risk. For cultural directions, see Monnieri. 
.25c; 3 for 50c 
Oruga (Mohr-Mitchell 1930). Flowers are large 
and abundant. Stems low and widely 
branched. Pale lavender, lighter at edges 
of falls. Well domed. The prominent fuzzy 
beard suggested the name Oruga, which is 
Spanish for caterpillar. 44"...25c; 3 for 50c 
Pacific (Essig 1929). This fine big iris com¬ 
bines all the qualities of clear clean color, 
substance, carriage, vigor and garden effect. 
It blooms very early and continues for a 
long time. The color is light bluish violet. 
Falls flaring, stems straight and slender. 
.75c; 3 for $2.00 
Padre (Mohr-Mitchell 1930). This dignified 
iris is tall, well branched, vigorous of growth 
and remarkable for its long period of bloom. 
The dominating color is the rosy purple of 
the silky falls flushed bright blue. 
.75c; 3 for $1.75 
Peerless (Dykes). Reddish violet, with gold 
beard so brilliant that it lights up the whole 
flower. Well branched stems, a strong 
grower, and free flowering. 36".

Peacemaker (Mitchell 1934). A stylish porce¬ 
lain colored iris with a pale lavender blue 
flush in center of falls. Very refined, hav¬ 
ing the clear appearance of a piece of newly 
lacquered furniture. Excellent as an aid in 
garden blending, because its pale shades 
make it a colorful substitute for white. Tall, 
well branched, with large blossoms. Blooms 
in mid-season. 42 inches.$3.00 
Perry’s Blue. Sibirica. Beautiful flowers of 
bright lavender blue with white markings 
on the falls, which are almost horizontal. 
Particularly adapted to planting in the pool 
border and exquisite for cutting. Award of 
Merit, R. H. S.50c; 3 for $1.00

and very attractive to iris lovers. Falls a

lavender self. Very floriferous and makes 
a beautiful mass. Late. 33"_25c; 3 for 50c 
Pink Jadu (Sturtevant). One of the most deli¬ 
cate iris in the garden. A plicata having a 
suffusion of lavender pink that makes this 
the pinkest plicata in the garden. Medium 
size. Small roots.$3.00
