MILLIKEN IRIS GARDENS 
Japanese Irises 
Japanese Iris need an abundance of water at blooming time, but not throughout the year. 
The flowers are large and flat, often 8 to 10 inches across, and are in white, blue, purple, pink 
and lavender. We ship in the fall and the spring, the latter probably being the best time 
to plant.

Irises from Foreign Lands 
ONCOCYCLUS 
The varieties of this group are natives of 
Asia Minor and Persia where the summers are 
rainless. They start to grow with the fall rains 
and grow throughout the winter. Susiana 
grows well in California and is being success¬ 
fully grown by many amateur gardeners in 
other parts of the country. It has to be given- 
winter protection in the colder sections and 
has to be lifted in sections which have sum¬ 
mer raihs. Grow in full sun in warm location. 
Likes lime. 
IRIS SUSIANA (The Mourning Iris) 
A wonderful flower of large size, borne on 
12 in. stems. It looks as if it were almost 
black, flecked with grey. In reality it has 
purple-black veining and spotting on a 
grey ground. The standards are somewhat 
lighter than the falls. Fall delivery only. 
Dozens $15.00; each $1.50

Native of Central China and Japan. The 
foliage is evergreen. The flowers are borne 
in large numbers on 2 to 3 ft. branching 
stems. Pale blue brightened with yellow. 
Segments wavy. Give partial shade and 
more water than for bearded Iris. 
WATTII Each 50c

laya Mountains. The flowers are like those 
of Japonica, but white and are carried on

REGELIO-CYCLUS HYBRIDS

type, but are listing only two this year. They 
are particularly vigorous and easy to grow, 
much easier than Susiana.

PERSIAN PRINCESS 
A pogo-regelia hybrid which is superior to 
anything of its type we have ever seen. 
The large, well-shaped flowers are Bishop's 
purple veined with Madder violet, the haft 
being veined with seal brown. The falls 
are exceptionally rich and velvety. A sin¬ 
gle stalk used as a cut flower is sure to 
cause a sensation. This Iris is taller than 
$17.50 per Hundred others of its type, growing to a full 3 feet 
in our garden_ 3 for $5.00; each $2.50 
Due to popular demand we are this year offering our permanent 
labels for the convenience of those who wish to keep the names of 
their Iris or of other plants. The label is a stamped aluminum tag 
securely fastened to a stiff galvanized wire stake 2^2 ft- long. We 
believe this is an ideal label because it is always in a position easy 
to read and because it is entirely weatherproof. Simply send us the 
names of the Irises or other plants for which you desire permanent 
labels. 
Tall, deep green leaves, 3 to 4 ft. high. 
Flowers yellow, on 5 ft. branching stems. 
Beautiful deep purple veining on a grey 
ground. The flowers are not so round as in 
Susiana, but are large and of excellent 
substance. Easy to handle as a cut flower.
