Thou art the iris, fair among the fairest 
Who armed with golden rod, 
And winged with celestial azure, bearest 
The message of some God. 
Thou art the Muse, who far from crowded cities, 
Hauntest the sylvan streams, 
Playing on pipes of reed the artless ditties, 
That come to us as dreams. 
Oh, Flower'deTuce, bloom on, and let the river 
Linger to \iss thy feet! 
Oh, Flower of song, bloom on and ma\e forever 
The world more fair and sweet. 
Longfellow: Flower-De-Luce. 
HENRI RIVIERE (On-ree-Reev-yair') (Millet 1927) 
L. 42". Very large ruffled flowers on rigid, manv- 
branched stems. S. pure lemon yellow; F. mauve with 
lemon reflex and edged creamy yellow. An exquisite 
combination. $ .75 
HERMENE (Parker 1933) M. 40". A tall pink iris 
with gold at the throat. Of fine garden value because 
the color carries well and harmonizes with many other 
varieties. The flower is long, about 6" in length, and 
the stems well branched. $1.25 
HERMITAGE (Kirkland 1931). A large well-formed 
flower of deep rose red, flushed frosty blue. A difficult 
iris to describe accurately, but one of much beauty, 
fine growth and splendid carriage. 
H.M., A.I.S., 1930. $1.00 
HERN AN I (Cayeux 1929) M. 32". A near approach 
to true red. S. coppery-red flushed pink; F. velvety 
garnet red. Planted with Frivolite, it makes a stunning 
garden picture. $ .75 
HONEYDROP (Morrison 1929) M. 40". Still the 
only one in its color class. The flowers are large and 
well formed of blended henna, brown, honey and 
cream. The best Morrison origination we have seen 
$1.50 
HUGUETTE (Millet 1932) M. 44". A tall well- 
branched medium blue self of heavy substance, as 
most of Millet’s are. The flowers are a shade larger 
than S. Michaud, and we have found it hardier and a 
better bloomer. $ .75 
IMPERIAL BLUSH (Sass 1933) M. 44". A large 
fragrant blush pink. The plant is vigorous, with very 
tall stems, which carry the many blooms gracefully. 
$5.00 
INDIAN CHIEF (Ayres 1929). Still one of the most 
outstanding irises in any list. S. pinkish red; F. deep 
velvety red. The flower is well formed and of heavy 
texture and holds its color well. A rampant grower 
and prolific bloomer. Should be in every collection. 
$ .60; 3 for $1.50 
INDIGO BUNTING (Ayres 1933). An unusual blue 
iris of good form and color, standards arched and falls 
semi-flaring. The plant is unusually hardy and a good 
grower. $7.50
