TALL BEARDED IRIS-The Backbone of the Modem Iris Garden 
Truly the world’s storehouse of floral treasures has been brought together 
to create our modern race of Tall Bearded Iris. 
“Pallida,” from South Tyrol; “Albicans” from Spain and Arabia; “Varie- 
gata’„ from the neighborhood of Vienna and from Servia and Bulgaria; the 
fragrant “Kashmuriana” from Kashmir, and from Afghanistan and Baluchis¬ 
tan; “Trojana” from the Troad; “Mesopitamica” from Armenia; “Cypriana” 
from Cypress; “Ricardi” from Syria; these and others gathered from the 
world’s storehouse of plant life have been brought together and the qualities 
and characteristics intermingled, crossed and blended, to produce our pres¬ 
ent race of modern Tall Bearded Irises. So complex is the ancestry of this 
race that the seeds from a single seed pod, of a variety that has been 
fertilized with pollen from its own flowers, will produce flowers in all the 
colors of the rainbow. Hybridizers have been vying to outdo each other 
in the production of new varieties, of gigantic size and height, in new 
colors and blends, new forms, silky and plush-like textures, exquisite 
fragrance, until today no flower approaches the Iris in all these desirable 
qualities. You will be amazed at the marvelous beauty of these latest crea¬ 
tions, which rival the extravagant loveliness of the wings of a butterfly and 
reproduce the marvelous colorings of the rarest jewels.
