The above are two of our own seedlings of the 
bearded type that are entirely distinct from any in our 
collection, and have the added value of being excep¬ 
tionally early bloomers, the first flowers opening the 
first of March, thus giving a greater variety among the 
early blooming sorts. 
BULBOUS, ONCOCYCLUS AND 
REGELIA SECTIONS 
We regret we are again obliged to state we are not 
prepared to supply Iris Susiana and Spanish Iris bulbs, 
so much called for since the embargo, as well as other 
novelties under these sections. 
The height of the Iris season is the latter part of 
April and early May. Many varieties may still be seen 
in sufficient quantity to select from for two or three 
weeks later, some still blooming into June, and a few 
stragglers in July. Early fall a few of the Bearded 
Irises, the dwarf varieties and Stylosa begin to throw 
some bloom, and in mid-winter Stylosa is at its height; 
also more or less bloom on a few of the bearded and 
other species, while. about the first of March, Siwas, 
Mesopotamia and others, including the two new seed¬ 
lings we are offering this year, join the procession. 
The first of April, Caterina, the earlier blooming Pal¬ 
lidas and others come on, until about the latter part 
of the month the garden is a mass of color. 
Where customers desire, and will give us an idea 
of soil, location. color preference, and about the 
amount they wish to spend, we submit suggestions for 
plantings. We can also recommend the varieties best 
adapted for desert conditions. We are prepared to 
quote a very reasonable price on a number of va¬ 
rieties suitable for large plantings. Write for further 
information.
