pure white of great size, fine form and heavy’ 
substance, this last a most important factor

vigor and its tall branched stems account for 
the rating of 96 given it. 40c; 3 for $1.00. 
Sir Michael 
c|p kiir'UACi Considered by many the fin- 
sik MluiAtL. est blue bicolor, this hand¬ 
some tall upstanding iris makes one of the 
most colorful masses in the garden. The 
bluish lavender standards rise airily above 
the rich red purple falls. 50c. 
RAYn np tm The Spanish word for sun- 
u Lit iUL. beam was given this seed¬ 
ling because of its bright yellow color. Its 
flowers, 4 inches high and 3% broad, are 
lemon chrome, a bright clear yellow. 36-inch. 
35c; 3 for 75c. 
REDWING. 
A big bronzy red very like Allies 
in color, but much larger and 
taller. Very much admired in our garden. 
35c; 3 for 75c. 
RUBEO. 
A magnificent plant with huge 
flowers beautifully poised on strong 
stems 48" high. It begins to branch half 
way up the stem, sending out good wide 
branches. The standards are deep glisten¬ 
ing rose, the broad thick textured falls are 
of deep maroon. $2.00. 
c Aon a Li CKIT/-N This new giant plicata, 
bALKAM fcIN I though related to San Fran¬ 
cisco and of comparable size and habit, is 
absolutely distinct from anything previously 
introduced. Its large flowers have a white 
ground, the standards heavily edged red 
purple, the falls reticulated with the same 
color. The prominent orange beard, unusual 
in plicatas, lights up the flowers in a most 
attractive way. 50c; 3 for $1.25. 
SAN DIEGO. 
This derivation of Gaudichau 
and El Capitan is identical in 
color with the former and in size and shape 
with the latter. Its immense blooms are of 
deep velvety blue-purple. Stems 46-inch. 50c. 
t»ii rDAkinicrn Tall stems, branching 
SAN PRANLISLO. ]ow and wid<3 like a 
candelabrum carry large white flowers, of 
which both standards and falls are distinct¬ 
ly edged lavender. In size, shape and sub¬ 
stance, there is nothing to approach it 
among the older plicatas, only the color pat¬ 
tern tells us it should be classed with them. 
Awarded Dykes Memorial Medal as best Am¬ 
erican introduction of 1927. Similar to Los 
Angeles but with wider blue edging. 40c. 
cam r abdici A very large pinkish laven-

ing to its other merits the virtue of being 
early and long blooming. Branching, and 
very graceful. 48-inch. Fragrant. 25c; 3 
for 50c. 
cam i me Rev Imagine an Opera with bet- 
3 /mn luio ixcI. ter s baped flowers nearly 
twice as large on beautifully branched stems 
half as tall again, and you have San Luis 
Rey. The flowers are of beautifully rounded 
form, set off by a golden beard and a yellow 
center. 25c. 
This is the finest of the 
pure lavender blues. The 
size, substance, spreading horizontal falls, 
well branched stalks and the vigor of growth 
entitle this beautiful iris to be rated with 
the highest. 25c; 3 for 50c.

grant. Late. 75c. 
SANTA BARBARA. 
SHASTA.

tirely distinct in style and effect and well 
worthy of being named for California’s great 
white-capped mountain. 25c; 3 for 50c.
