NEW IRIS FROM JAPAN 
(Species) 
Laevigata Alba Purpurea 
Awarded Cert, of Merit, New York Hort. Soc., June 1923 
The stock of this new Iris was placed in my hands by the late Dr. Van Fleet, with consent of the U. S. Department of 
Agriculture, with the understanding that I would introduce and disseminate it to American Iris Lovers. 
A REAL BLUE IN IRIS— 
The color is a most pleasing combination of dark indigo or navy blue with parts of each petal white. Six petals. 
Flowers are flat like Iris Kaempferi (Japanese Iris) 4 to 5 inches across, on stems 20 to 25 inches high. 
Dr. Van Fleet pronounced it the most important and valuable species discovered in many years and one of the most de¬ 
sirable hardy herbaceous plant novelties brought to his attention during his many years in the United States Department oi 
Agriculture. 
In this Iris we feel that we are offering the most unusual Iris novelty of the past 10 years. 
Frices $2.00 for one division; $11.00 for 6; $20.00 for 12.
