Chatelet—The name of two old fortresses of Paris, believed to 
have been built in the time of Julius Caesar. Chatelet is a 
pinkish violet Iris with a delicate rosy sheen. An exquisite 
flower of great size and beauty. Very fragrant.29 
Cecil Minturn—Soft clear pink, called by some a “uniform 
Cattleya rose.” Take your choice. One of the best light pinks 
for landscape purposes..14 
Cherubim—Palest hortense violet, pinkish, colonial buff. Fra¬ 
grant. In Christian art, Cherubim are generally represented 
as sexless figures, with wings from the shoulders. Often they 
have also a glory round the head. They are first mentioned in 
Genesis 111:24. “So he drove out the man and he placed at 
the east of the garden of Eden Cherubim, and a flaming sword 
which turned every way.” 
Delicatissima—Has a delicate pinkish coloring that is most pleas¬ 
ing. Shows rosy mauve effect in mass planting. Tall and showy. 
Fragrant. .14 
Frieda Mohr—Among the hundreds of thousands of people killed 
by automobiles were William Mohr, the Iris specialist, and his 
wife Frieda. The wonderful pink Iris Frieda Mohr was named 
in honor of Mrs. Mohr. It not only heads the list of pink Iris 
but has won a more hearty welcome in the gardens of the 
world in the first ten years of its life than any other Iris. 
Frieda Mohr is gigantic in size. From established plants, blooms 
often measure, 6 to 7 inches in each direction, being one of the 
largest in cultivation. Its form and architecture are perfect 
and majestic. Its manner of plant growth and carriage of flower 
stalk and blooms suggest politeness and majesty. It is a truly 
regal Iris. 
Frieda Mohr is exquisitely fragrant with an alluring locust 
fragrance, giving a delightful scent to the entire garden. 
Its brilliant coloring is in two tones of pink, the S. being lilac 
pink while the F. are deep lilac-rose-pink. 
It is hardy and will grow anywhere. .24 
Georgia — One of the original thirteen states was originally part 
of the vast domain of the Cherokee and Creek Indians, them¬ 
selves the successors of a superior race, whose ruined mound 
fortifications and other evidences are numerous. Its recorded 
history begins in 1540 when De Soto explored much of it search¬ 
ing for gold. A splendid early, dark pink, called by the ex¬ 
perts a “uniform cattleya-rose self.” The beard is white, 
tipped orange . .14 
Kalos—S. and F. white, pale rose slightly veined. Kalos is a 
Greek word meaning “beauty.” In the petals of Kalos you seem 
to see not color, but flesh, pink and tender. The flower seems to 
be alive. You almost see the pulse beat. The Iris with the school 
girl complexion.14 
Kathleen— Soft rose lilac pink in effect, of good size and sweet 
scented. The Irish form of Catherine, which means “pure.” 
This name is very musical as pronounced.14 
Midgard— A wonderful Iris, being a blend of yellow overlaid 
peach pink. Large size and architecturally perfect. A soft glow¬ 
ing pink effect of great charm and rare beauty. In the Scan¬ 
dinavian mythology Midgard or “Mid earth,” the central gar¬ 
den, or dwelling place, was given to Aslte and Embla, the first 
man and woman, which was to be for them a residence. There 
they became the progenitors of the human race. Nearly all 
ancient people had a similar myth . .24 
Susan Bliss— An Iris of good form and rare beauty. A rapid in- 
creaser though rhizomes are not large. Rich rose-pink self with 
a delicate purplish sheen.14

Barbara—Dwarf, white with olive veining. Very fragrant. Very 
floriferous. Barbara suffered martyrdom about 236 A. D. She 
refused to give up her Christian faith and her heathen father 
gave her up to sex and physical tortures. At last her father 
struck off her head, and that instant, was himself killed with 
lightning. Saint Barbara is to this day prayed to in storms . . .10 
Cyanea—Rich crimson purple with white throat beautifully 
veined. Flowers large and very fragrant.. .10 
LeopokL— Means “bold for the people.” It is a name liked by the

of the dwarf Iris in two tones of blue-lavender. .10

Bluet— Both S. and F. are pale wisteria-violet. Very lovely in 
mass plantings. Make superb garden clumps. .10 
Chasseur—Literally a huntsman. One of a body of light troops 
trained for rapid movement. Or an attendant wearing a plume 
and sword. An artistic flower, fragrant and attractive. Tall 
and late. Holds its yellow color to the end... .29 
Dream— This word suggests happy anticipation. This may be what 
Miss Sturtevant had in mind when she called her new lavender 
pink Iris “Dream.” 
It is said that “dreams” come to us when the mind is semi¬ 
conscious, that is, when we are going to sleep or awaking from 
sleep. The literature or dreams would take a long time to read. 
Shakespeare asks the question : “What probing deep has ever 
solved the mystery of sleep.” And no one seems to have the 
answer. At any rate the Iris Dream is real. Vigorous, tall, 
fragrant and a good bloomer... * 1 ® 
F. B. Schermerhom—A beautiful Pallida with a silvery pink ef¬ 
fect. Has a conspicuous light orange beard. *1® 
Isolene— A grand and distinct Iris with very large flowers and 
strong foliage. S. pale pinkish buff; F. Chinese violet and buff. 
The straight hanging falls give the flowers a long appearance. .14 
Jean Chevreau—A beautiful Iris from France of curious coloring. 
An unusual Plicata blend reminding of Montezuma. S. sanded 
primrose yellow ; F. cream, stippled and edged Prussian red. .19 
Mary Barnett—One of the best of the two toned eight lavender 
varieties, fragrant and free blooming. Very fragrant. Mary, of 
course, meaning “Star of the Sea,” and Barnett, an old Ger¬ 
manic name, being given to a boy, in the hope that he would 
grow up a warrior strong. 1 ® 
Mile. Schwartz—A large, pale mauve self; orange beard. An 
Iris of unusual form and poise on tall stalks... 
Mme. Cheri—Certainly this is a “pleasing” Iris because of its 
combination of color harmony. S. vinaceous purple over yellow ; 
F. ageratum violet washed pink, rich yellow undertone; deep 
orange beard.. *4® 
True Charm — Miss Sturtevant surely gave the world a delightful 
plicata when she introduced True Charm with its flowers white, 
margined delicately etched with blue-lavender. It is a strong 
grower, perfectly hardy and one of the most fragrant.14 
.10 
Candlelight Collection fo/Si

“show off” best in the subdued lights of interior decora¬ 
tion. It, with the others in this collection, will add 
charm to the floral decorations of banquets, dinners

Afterglow—Misty lavender pink, shading to buff and yellow. 
Vigorous. Fragrant. After the “twilight and evening bell” 
there is a refulgence or glow, lighting up the western sky, this 
is called the “Afterglow,” which appropriately names this Iris. 
Candlelight — Palest lavender and gold, strongly illuminated from 
within by a rich golden glow shading to deep colonial buff. 
In general a pinkish buff. Flower stalks sometimes reach to four 
feet high. One of the best to use for bouquets in subdued lights. .19

red-lilac. Conspicuous orange beard. Colors harmoniously 
blended..10 
Lord Lambourne—The noble Lord will have his name perpetuated 
for many many years among the lovers of beautiful Iris, for 
Lord Lambourne is the name of a favorite Iris found in the best 
gardens. It blooms early and continues in bloom until the Iris 
season is over. Its flowers are well formed, well spaced. The 
stalk is tall. The S. are rose-buff; F. rich madder-crimson ; 
bright yellow beard; sweetly scented. A good cut flower.19 
Mary Gibson—Very free flowering and reliable. A distinct and 
beautiful Iris, unlike any other. S. delicate light buff, overlaid 
old rose ; F. old rose suffused bronze with yellow base, bright 
prominent orange beard .1® 
Mother of Pearl—More money was spent advertising Mother of 
Pearl than on any other variety. It is understood Mr. Bonne- 
witz paid Miss Sturtevant five thousand dollars for her stock of 
the variety. On a visit to his gardens I saw a large planting of 
it and bought one hundred plants paying fifty dollars for them. 
S. and F. pale bluish lavender —rosy in some lights. Large, 
fragrant flowers .1® 
Oriflamme—The ancient banner of St. Dennis carried before the

grant. A flower of heavy substance, lasting long in bloom... .10 
Ramona— A beautiful blending of petunia violet flushed cinna¬ 
mon-brown at the haft ; orange beard ; sweetly scented. Ramona 
was the heroine of a fine story of the Southwest written by 
Helen Hunt Jackson. It’s a “three bell” romance as Jimmie 
Fiddler would say .14 
Zada — A most profuse flowering, tall, white Iris, valuable for a 
white tone in garden plantings. A pure white with occasional 
purple veining at the haft. Is always greatly admired by visi¬ 
tors. Fragrant. .19

Chrysanthemums 
About the only way to have plenty of flowers in late fall and 
early Winter is to grow Chrysanthemums. They are easy of culture 
and the hardy varieties come before the killing frosts. If it is desired 
to have “Mums” for the holiday, proceed in this way: Cut the stems 
when the first buds begin to open, strip off the surplus leaves, plunge 
the stems in a container with water and place in cellar or a cool 
room. The plants can also be transplanted in a shallow box with the 
soil kept moist, and all placed in cool room or cellar.
