Mesopotamica. S. soft blue; F. violet-purple. 
A new species from the East, of exception¬ 
ally strong growth, and producing massive 
flowers on stems 4 to 5 feet tall. The foli¬ 
age with us does not die down in the 
winter, and last season it came into bloom 
about the middle of March. A most mag¬ 
nificent Iris. It seems unfortunate that 
this Iris is going out under the catalogue 
name of I. Junonia. According to the de¬ 
scription of 1. Junonia, in the Genus Iris, 
by Mr. Dykes, it is quite distinct from this, 
although the true Junonia is a very fine 
Iris.

2 feet. 
Sambucina Beethoven (syn. Miss Brough). 
S. rose-lilac; F. purple with orange beard.

Sambucina, La Vesuve. S. lavender, flusheo 
bronze; F. violet. 2 feet. 
Sambucina, Mephistopheles. S. clouded lav¬ 
ender; F. rich purple, flushed blue. 
Trojana (syn. I. Cypriana of Commerce). 
These fine Irises are produced on branch¬ 
ing stems 3 to 4 feet tall. The flowers are 
large and very fragrant, and they bloom 
in June. This is the species described and 
illustrated in The Genus Iris (Dykes) as 
I. Trojana. The true I. Cypriana, also 
described by him, is not in commerce. 
Trojana Celestial. A handsome blue-flowered 
form. 
Trojana Magnifica. S. violet-blue; F. violet 
purple. 
Trojana Superba. S. soft blue; F. rich, clear 
violet. Very fine. 
INTERMEDIATE IRISES 
These hybrids are crosses between Dwarf 
and Tall Bearded Irises. They are medium 
in height, flowers large, some unusually so, 
and free bloomers, blooming at intervals 
throughout the year like most of the dwarf 
varieties. They increase rapidly and need 
to be divided every three years at most.

deeper blue markings, beard orange. 20
