ALTA CALIFORNIA 
BURNING BRONZE (Ayres) 
When we saw this iris in the originator's garden, we were at 
once intrigued by the richness and charm of the flowers. It is a true 
bronze with a depth of color that defies description. Close inspection 
reveals an undertone of rich brown which accounts for the unusual 
warmth and vitality this flower possesses. 3)4 feet. $10.00 
CALIFORNIA BLUE (Essig) 
A most vigorous iris, fine foliage, long blooming season, large 
flowers, great height, well branched and early. Rich bluish violet 
with a glowing beard. It is the most delightfully fragrant iris which 
we know. 4)4 feet. 50c; 3 for $1.00 
CAMELIARD (Sturtevant)

flowers are very large, seven inches, and are borne on tall, well- 
branched stems. A distinct and popular iris. It is a dependable

CHEERIO (Ayres) 
Without question the "reddest" iris yet introduced. It is truly a 
beautiful flower with standards a dull gold flushed with bright red, 
and falls a dazzling rich velvety red. A brilliant yellow beard 
completes the picture and makes Cheerio "a flame in the garden." 
Iris lovers are indebted to Dr. Ayres for the many beautiful new

consistently high quality. In our opinion, Cheerio is one of his best.
