MILLIKEN IRIS GARDENS 
BLUE & GOLD (Essig). 
We saw a fine clump of this iris growing 
in a New England garden where it has be¬ 
come a decided favorite. The unusually 
large and well proportioned flowers are a 
beautiful shade of blue and are set off by 
a bright golden beard that makes a sharp 
contrast which is apparent from some dis¬ 
tance; hence the name. 3V2 feet- 
3 for $2.00; each 75c 
BLUE BANNER (Kirkland). 
An outstanding iris of unusual and charm¬ 
ing color. The standards are a medium 
lavender blue and are beautifully frilled. 
The falls are a deep rich velvety blue, 
shading to a pale blue at the edges. The 
effect is particularly pleasing in a clump. 
You will enjoy Blue Banner in your gar¬ 
den. 3 feet.__ 3 for $2.00; each 75c 
BLUE GOWN (Essig) 
A tall blue iris of fine depth of color, nearly 
a self, large size, good form, and firm 
substance. A brilliant golden beard is 
charmingly displayed on wide flaring falls. 
The stems are slender, stiff, and from four 
to five feet high. An unusually vigorous 
grower...___ 3 for $3.50; each $1.50 
BROWN BETTY (White). 
Here is an iris that stands out instantly 
in the garden as being something "differ¬ 
ent”. Imagine a blending of the warm 
shades of Mikado Brown, Prussian Red, 
and Argyle Purple, overlaid with tones of 
copper. You will be fascinated by a com¬ 
bination of colors rarely seen in any 
flower. The blooms are large with semi- 
flaring falls and are carried on slender, 
well branched stems. 3V2 feet_ $ 10.00 
BURNING BRONZE (Ayres). 
When we saw this iris in the originator's 
garden last spring, we were at once in¬ 
trigued by the richness and charm of the 
flowers. It is a true bronze with a depth 
of color that defies description. Close in¬ 
spection reveals an undertone of rich 
brown which accounts for the unusual 
warmth and vitality this flower possesses. 
We predict that Burning Bronze will enjoy 
widespread popularity_ $18.50 
CALIFORNIA BLUE (Essig). 
A most vigorous iris, fine foliage, long 
blooming season, large flowers, great 
height, well branched and early. Rich blu¬ 
ish violet with a glowing beard. It is the 
most delightfully fragrant iris which we 
know. 41/2 feet__ 3 for $1.00; each 50c 
CAMELIARD (Sturtevant). 
This is a rare and beautiful blend of yel¬ 
low and wine color. The flowers are very 
large, seven inches, and are borne on well 
branched stems. A distinct and popular 
iris. It has been an outstanding favorite 
with the visitors to our gardens. 4 feet.

CARNELIAN (Lothrop). 
This huge red flower on a four-foot splen¬ 
didly branched stem makes a striking dis¬ 
play in the garden. It is perfectly hardy, a 
vigorous grower, and a prolific bloomer. 
Greatly admired_ 3 for $3.50; each $1.50 
CHASSEUR (Vilmorin). 
A good yellow although of course not to 
be compared with the tall large flowered 
yellows of recent introduction. The flowers 
are opaque instead of translucent as in 
Citronella. Late. 21/2 feet. 
3 for $1.00; each 50c 
CHERRIO (Ayres). 
Having seen practically all the newest iris 
creations in the country, we can say with¬ 
out reservation that here is the brightest 
red variety yet created. It is a truly beau¬ 
tiful flower with standards a dull gold 
flushed with bright red and falls a dazzl¬ 
ing rich velvety red. A brilliant yellow 
beard completes the picture and makes 
Cheerio the outstanding new iris which we 
saw in the entire country last year. It is 
actually "a flame in the garden”. 40 in¬

hardy. 3^2 feet_ $5.00

Recommended as one of the best varie- 
gatas yet produced, we have not as yet

and reliable grower although reported 
rather slow to increase. ...$2.50
