Are Said by Experts to be 
Masterpieces of the Garden 
Among all the Iris novelties shown at the exhibitions of 
1922 and 1928, Farr’s four new introductions seemed to stand 
without a rival. Iris fanciers and experts placed them far 
above the most popular older varieties. 
During the blooming season I spend hours and days in my 
field of Irises, selecting and crossing the most promising vari¬ 
eties in an effort to secure worthy seedlings. That I have 
succeeded is proven by the score or more varieties that are 
now accepted as standard by Iris growers everywhere. To 
this record of achievement I am now happy to add these 
Masterpieces of the Garden 
Cecile Minturn. Standards and falls a uniform shade of cattelya- 
rose; light beard. A large dome-shaped flower and a distinct im¬ 
provement in the pink Irises. Height, 2 feet. Each, $5. 
Sea Gull. Standards white, dome-shaped; falls white faintly 
shaded blue and netted with narrow blue lines or veins. A large and 
unusual flower which is appropriately named. Height, 2 feet. Each, 
Seminole. One of the richest colored varieties. Standards soft 
violet-rose; falls rich velvety crimson; brilliant orange beard. Blooms 
exceptionally large, dome-shaped; an effective variety for mass plant¬ 
ing because of its free-blooming character, medium height and 
strong grower. Honorable mention by the American Iris Society, 
June, 15)20. Each, $2.50. 
Japanesque. A distinct departure from the German type. Six 
petals spread horizontally in the form of a Japanese Iris, giving the 
flower the effect of having six falls without standards. The stand¬ 
ards are lavender-white flecked lilac; falls deep violet-lilac edged 
with pale lavender; coppery yellow beard. In many blooms the 
standards are marked like the falls. Each, $3. 
One plant of each of these four varieties for $12 
The self-increasing properties of the Masterpiece collection 
will make the plants worth more than the original cost, while 
the beauty and satisfaction to be derived from them is incalcu¬ 
lable.
