Introductions for 1937 
The two Iris mentioned beloware outstand¬ 
ing in their color class, and have good form 
and a carrying tone in the garden. These new 
seedlings of Dr. Ayres have been named for two 
local women, who are ardent gardeners. Mrs. 
W. S. Rowe has grown flowers for many years, 
and published a small garden book of planting 
flowers from seed. She has a deep love for 
flowers. Her delightful garden with its charm¬ 
ing rockery, is always an inspiration to those 
who visit it. 
Mrs. Silas Waters is President of the Ohio 
Association of Garden Clubs, past president of 
the Cincinnati district, Regional President of 
the American Iris Society, and has been one of 
the most active women in the promotion of 
beautiful gardens, especially with iris. So 
it is fitting that an iris should be named for 
her. ,

the flowers are freely produced. Truly a 
prize-winner. $7.50 
One of each of these for $11.00 postpaid. 
These prices will remain the same for two 
years. We are trying to sell these fine iris 
at as moderate a price as possible, and they 
are worth far more than we ask.
