Pacific Coast Species 
The Species in this group are of special interest to the Iris Connoisseur, as the ama- 
teur gardener is not always successful with them. They are handsome and well worth try¬ 
ing. While all other Beardless Species are quite hardy anywhere these Pacific Coast Spe¬ 
cies are not so dependable. However, I list them for the benefit of those who would like 
to try their luck with them.

deep yellow, veined brown. 1.00
