to our heavy soil has proven quite difficult and at present only a few surplus

STOLONIFERA. A lovely bronze and blue wild species from Turkestan; 
acclimated stock of a particularly fine blue-bearded form and one of the 
choicest things in this catalogue. An ideal rock garden subject, this and not 
the true korolkowi is what Reginald Farrer must have meant when he wrote 
of a certain iris that it “is a slender grower, rising to a couple of feet at the 
most, and bearing one or two elongated gracious flowers, whose color is an 
indescribable mixture of fawn and brown, with the clearest, gentlest, electric 
blue. I would go any lengths to grow this, but I never have”. each $1.50
