MOVILLA GARDENS 
Tall Bearded Iris, eontinued 
WINDHAM. (Farr 1909.) S. soft lavender-pink; F. heavily veined 
with darker shades. 20 inches. 
W. J. FRYER. (Fryer 1917.) S. large, bright yellow; F. maroon, with 
yellow border, reticulated yellow at base. Center shaded violet. 
30 inches. 
WYOMISSING. (Farr 1909.) S. creamy white, suffused delicate soft 
rose; F. deep rose base, shading to flesh-colored border. A fine 
flower but a little washy and does not go well with other pinks or 
with purples. Strong grower and free bloomer. 
ZUA. (Crawford 1914.) S. and F. white, slightly tinged lilac, edges 
crimped and crinkled. Very distinct and different from all others. 
Intermediate Iris 
These are hybrids of the Dwarf Bearded varieties crossed with the 
later Tall Bearded sorts, raised by Caparne and by Goos & Koene- 
mann, and are intermediate in growth and in season. They are useful 
in continuing the Iris season, and bloom here during most of the month 
of May. 
DAUPHIN. (Caparne 1901.) Rich purple with distinct dark falls. 
DIAMOND. (Caparne 1901.) S. and F. bluish white. 18 inches. 
DOLPHIN. (Caparne 1901.) S. light blue; F. violet-purple. One of 
the earliest and largest of intermediates. 18 inches. 
DOROTHEA. (Caparne 1901.) A. M., R. H. S. 1916. Lilac-blue, 
tinged white. Standards open flat like a Japanese Iris. 
EMPRESS. (Caparne 1901.) S. and F. creamy white, much like 
Halfdan, but larger flower. 
FRITJOF. (Goos & Koenemann 1910.) Common purple bicolor, 
but valuable for its earliness, freedom, and length of season, begin¬ 
ning the first or second week of May and often lasting till Decora¬ 
tion Day. 
HALFDAN. (Goos & Koenemann 1908.) S. and F. creamy white. 
Gerda, Ivorine, King Christian, Queen Flavia, and others resemble 
this too closely to list. 
INGEBORG. (Goos & Koenemann 1908.) A. M., R. H. S. 1916. 
The only pure white intermediate in general cultivation. Strong 
grower and free bloomer. 
PRINCE VICTOR. (Caparne 1901.) A. M„ R. H. S. 1916. S. blue; 
F. dark violet, on order of Dolphin. 
ROYAL. (Caparne 1901.) A. M., R. H. S. 1916. Blue and violet. 
Rather short stem but very rich color. 
SPEEDWELL. (Bliss 1919.) S. and F. violet-purple. Beard project¬ 
ing and conspicuous. Early and very free-flowering. 12 to 15 
inches. 
WALHALLA. (Goos & Koenemann 1908.) S. and F. blue and purple, 
on order of Fritjof, but not so tall. Strong grower and free bloomer. 
Dwarf Bearded Iris 
These varieties are mostly forms or hybrids of Iris pumila and I. 
Chamseiris. They are from 3 inches to 1 foot in height, and bloom 
from mid-April to mid-May, in ordinary seasons, in the latitude of 
Philadelphia. T hey are useful for edging garden borders and are 
perfectly hardy though often of rather delicate growth. 
BLUESTONE. (Perry, about 1900.) S. violet-blue; F. violet-purple. 
Early May. 6-9 inches. 
CHAM7EIRIS. (Wild.) Purple. Free bloomer. Makes a good mass.
