Bulbous and Tuberous Rooted Iris 
In this group I have included only a few varieties of special merit. Each has a strik¬ 
ing individuality all its own, that puts it in a class by itself. I have grown all of them 
outside, but especially recommended them for cold-frame treatment, or for growing in 
pots, with the exception of Cantab, Tuberosa, Reticulata and King Caesar, which are quite 
at home outside. 
Where prices are quoted by the dozen it is because it requires that quantity to make 
a showing; in these cases single bulbs are not sold, but I can furnish a half a dozen of a 
variety. 
Prices Each, Except Where Noted. 
BUCHARICA —28 in. Glossy bright green 
foliage, like a miniature corn-stalk, with 
soft satiny yellow flowers at the tip and 
at the axil of each leaf. 1.75 
CANTAB —10 in. Similar to Reticulata, but 
of the most exquisite soft blue and two 
weeks earlier than Reticulata. 1.50 
JUNCEA —15 in. A recent acquisition from 
Africa. Makes the greatest showing of 
vivid yellow I have ever seen in any gar¬ 
den. Exquisitely fragrant; like a Dutch 
Iris in form. DOZEN. 5.00

culata family. Stock from an Eastern

Dutch Bulbous Varieties 
These new hybrids have proven quite hardy in my gardens on Long Island. They are 
magnificent in the garden and unsurpassed as cut flowers. As they produce only one 'flow¬ 
er at a time to a stem, and do not multiply in most gardens to the extent that other Iris 
do, it requires at least a dozen to make a showing. In fact, as they should be planted 
only 3 to 4 inches apart, 25 bulbs of a variety makes just a nice clump. Therefore no less 
than a dozen of a variety will be sold. Two seasons ago I sold these varieties at $5.00 to 
$12.00 a dozen. This season I am making a uniform price of 
$1.50 A DOZEN; $10.00 PER 100; $75.00 PER 1.000 
A BLOEMAARD —20 in. Very large early 
dark purplish-blue. 
ADRIAN BACKER —20 in. Uniform purple- 
lilac. Later than A. Bloemaard. 
D. HARING —26 in. S—grey ish-white; F— 
pure white. Early. 
GOLDEN BRONZE —22 in. A magnificent va¬ 
riety. S—Deep violet, edged bronze; F—at¬ 
tractive golden bronze. 
JACOB DE WIT —22 in. A fine early deep 
blue of remarkable substance. 
LEONARDO DE VINCI —28 in. Standards 
creamy white; Falls, canary-yellow. Very 
large flower. Early. 
S. DE A^LIEGER —27 in. A magnificent soft 
sky-blue. Very large. One of the most 
handsome. 
THERESE SCHWARTZ —24 in. Standards 
soft corn-flower blue; Falls, pure white, 
with narrow orange stripe. 
WHITE EXCELSIOR —22 in. Uniform pure 
waxy snow-white. Best white. 
YELLOW RUEEN —28 in. Uniform rich gold¬ 
en-yellow. 
Of the above 10 varieties, nine have won 
Awards and the tenth is equally worthy of 
the same distinction. They are the cream 
of all of the very finest Dutch Iris intro¬ 
duced to date.
