LENGTHEN YOUR SEASON OF IRIS BLOOM FROM CROCUS 
TIME TO AUTUMN FROST 
Why be satisfied with a few short weeks of Iris Bloom, when you can enjoy these “Daughters of the Rain¬ 
bow” throughout the entire growing season. I have arranged the 12 Collections listed below to give a complete 
succession of bloom. You may add such groups as you need to complete a full season of Iris bloom in your own 
garden; or you may order all 12 collections at one time. 
Each collection contains the very cream of a definite Iris group, selected from the most famous collection 
on the continent. The collections are listed in the order in which they flower — FROM SPRING TO FROST. 
Every plant is carefully labelled. __ 
Collection No. 1—RETICULATA IRIS 
The First Flower of Springtime 
Blossoms in March in our Northern States Right 
Through Snow and Ice. A rare prize for the rock 
garden, or any other spot where a mass of early 
flowers is wanted. Color rich royal purple, with 
lovely golden veining at the throat. Violet scented. 
Rugged and easily grown. I know of a clump that 
has flowered undisturbed for fifty years in a New 
England garden. Art

this collection. In all there are 12 plants in at 
least 6 choice varieties, carefully selected to cover 
the color range, including a lovely rich wine shade,

Collection No. 3—POGOCYCLUS HYBRIDS 
This race contains many of the most handsome 
Irises in the world, and this collection contains 
only the finest of them; including William Mohr, 
the very best and highest rated of all. Only a few 
years ago Wm. Mohr sold for $25 each. For sev¬ 
eral years it has been the sensation of our Display 
Gardens. These Hybrids are entirely different from 
all other Irises, and as beautiful as the finest or¬ 
chids. They flower early, following the Miniature 
Irises in bloom.

4—EARLY FLOWERING IRIS 
ARISTOCRATS 
You will get a great thrill out of this new race of 
early flowering Iris Aristocrats. They follow the 
Pogocyclus Hybrids in bloom and will come into full 
flower in your garden while your neighbors are still 
looking for buds on their Irises. Each variety is a 
Masterpiece. Each one is a different color. One of 
them is the deepest colored Iris grown, so intense 
that it seems to be dripping with color, and so vel¬ 
vety that the entire flower seems to be cut out of 
the finest plush. They are all large and handsome, 
from 24 to 36 inches tall.

SIBERIAN IRISES 
This is the finest set of Siberian Irises obtainable 
anywhere in the world at any price. I will include 
in this collection several varieties that sold recently 
for $5.00 and $10.00 a plant. Many eminent au¬ 
thorities consider the Siberian Irises the finest of 
the Iris family. They are prodigious bloomers and 
make excellent cut flowers. In form they differ 
from other Irises.

Collection No. 7—BEARDLESS IRIS SPECIES 
AND HYBRIDS 
These marvelous Irises bridge the gap between the 
earlier flowering groups and the Japanese Iris. They 
are different in form from all other Irises, and the 
10 varieties in this collection are all quite different 
from each other. They include a burnished metalic 
copper color, a rich Royal Purple, a lovely soft blue, a 
deep yellow, a fine red and others equally distinctive.

Collection No. 8—SUMMER BLOOMING 
JAPANESE IRIS 
These gorgeous beauties are wonderful bloomers; 
many individual flowers are as large as a dinner 
plate. Included in this collection are giant singles 
and doubles, self colors, mottled, blended and striped 
effects; subtle soft tints and brilliant showy colors. 
These Japanese Iris are indispensible because they 
produce a marvelous color effect just when flowers 
are scarce. rtrt

Collection No. 9—IRIS DICHOTOMY (Rare 
Chinese Species) 
This is one of the rarest and most interesting 
Irises. It comes from Manchuria and Northern 
China. The thin wiry stems grow from 30 to 36 
inches in height and are more branched than any 
other member of Iris family. A single flower stalk 
on an established plant will produce from 100 to 
200 flowers in a season. It blossoms for a full four 
weeks during mid-summer, when no other Irises are 
in bloom. The blue flowers are from iy 2 to 2 inches 
across, beautifully marked and quite handsome. They 
open in the afternoon (you can set your watch by 
them) and last only one day, a new crop of flowers 
appearing each day. Crt

Collection No. 10—AUTUMN FLOWERING 
IRISES 
This new race of Irises not only blooms profusely 
early in the season, but also flowers again just as 
profusely in the fall, producing a mass of blooms 
from September until frost, thus completing a cal¬ 
endar of Iris bloom from early spring until late fall. 
In this collection I have included four colors, a rich 
blue, a fine yellow, a snow white and a bright pur¬ 
ple. You can now have a garden full of Irises in the 
fall, as well as at other seasons of the year.

Collection No. 11—WINTER FLOWERING IRIS 
This interesting species, Unguicularis (also called 
Stylosa) is from Algeria, Asia Minor and Northern 
Syria. It refuses to flower in the summer, but in¬ 
sists on flowering all winter long in the open in our 
Southern states ; or in the protection of a cold frame 
in the north—or even in a protected spot in the 
garden. It withstands zero weather out of doors 
and is not at all difficult to grow. This collection 
consists of two colors, an exquisite white and a 
lovely blue.

Collection No. 12—CRESTED IRIS 
This group is distinguished by a prominent crest, 
similar to a cock’s comb, which extends down the 
centre of the falls. This crest is composed of the 
same material as the balance of the petals and is 
sometimes beautifully frilled and one of the attrac¬ 
tions of this group. This collection will include 
Tectorum, the famous blue “roof Iris” of China and 
Japan; also an exquisite white form of the same; 
Crista, a lovely fragrant amethyst blue dwarf for a 
semi-shady pocket in the rock garden; Cristata Alba, 
a white form; and Gracilipes, a pinkish lavender 
Japanese miniature. fl'rt rtrt
