IRISES FOR YOUR GARDEN 
A Selected List of the Finest Varieties 
AIRY DREAM (Sturtevant) 
A delightful clear pink flower that is very popular in our garden, 
and is without question one of the very best of the pink-toned 
irises. The blooms are large and well shaped, and are borne on 
3-foot stems. Try planting Airy Dream near a clear blue variety, such 
as Shining Waters, Pale Moonlight, or Pacific. 75c,- 3 for $2.00 
ALTA CALIFORNIA (Mitchell) 
Here is a yellow iris of real merit. The standards are a clear 
medium tone of yellow and the falls a shade deeper, faintly bronzed 
at the base. The blossoms are exceptionally large, and are carried 
on splendid stems four feet high. We have seen this iris performing 
equally well in California, Illinois, and Massachusetts.

AMBROSIA (Sturtevant) 
This is a very delicate pale pink with a deep orange beard. Its clean 
color and smooth satiny finish make it a favorite with those who 
appreciate refinement and quality in their flowers. The blooms are 
of medium size and are borne on three foot stems. Excellent as a 
cut flower. 50c,- 3 for $1.00

AUTUMN DAWN (Nies) 
This charming new variety is ideally suited for land¬ 
scape effects. It is a clear, bright blend of old gold and 
pink, and is especially charming when planted in a 
group with a clear blue, such as Shining Waters or 
Pacific. A distinctive and valuable feature of Autumn 
Dawn is its free blooming habit. In Southern California 
it is practically an ever-bloomer, and produces flowers 
which are excellent for cutting many months of the year. 
Reports from all parts of the country assure us of its 
excellent performance and complete hardiness. 28 
inches. $2.50; 3 for $5.00 
BEAU SABREUR (Williamson)

You will admire this iris. 2H feet. 50c,- 3 for $1.00

produces a large clump in the garden. The deep blue flowers are 
very large and are carried on stiff, slender stems from four to five

ground of your garden. 75c,- 3 for $2.00

and are carried on slender, well-branched stems. 3 x /i feet. $6.00

This is one of the new "Table Irises” from the Williamson garden. 
It is characterized by small dainty Rowers on slender graceful stems, 
and thus lends itself admirably to table decoration. Two other 
varieties, Kinglet and Pewee, belong to this same class and will be 
found listed on pages 7 and 12. Bunting is a delightful pale violet 
self on 24-inch stems. It is fragrant. 75c; 3 for $2.00
