Siberian Irises 
“To see them is to love them” and to decide that one must have a few of these irises for the perfect garden picture. 
So dainty are the flowers in colorings of purple and white and many shades of blue,- so graceful are the clumps of 
narrow foliage; so cheery are the plants in whatever location you wish to place them,- so acceptable are the blooms 
for table decoration, that we like to use them at the pool edge, in the border, and in shady corners. Plant them 
deep, feed them liberally and water them copiously. Planting may be done either in the spring or after the blooming 
period, being sure to keep them well watered. 
Many of our loveliest new Siberians are originating in Canada. We are introducing three of Miss Preston’s this 
year:—MUTANE, PICKANOCK and RIMOUSKI, — prices and descriptions of which will be available after 
the blooming season. We hope that she has another winner, like Gatineau. 
BLUE CHARM (Sass 1927) Charming in tone, charming in 
form, charming in mass production in the garden, this iris is 
a light blue with large S. and round horizontal F. 38". $.50 
BLUE HERON (Cleve. 1927) This is the earliest bird among 
the blues, stepping in on his long slender legs soon after the 
middle of May. A medium blue in tone. 36". $.35 
BLUE RIDGE (Cleve. 1929) The loveliest and best of the 
late silvery blues. The F. are horizontal; and both the S. and 
style arms have turquoise midribs. 34". 3 for $.75, $.35 
BOB WHITE (Cleve. 1927) Appears to be a shy bird in New 
England. A pure white iris with no venations. Rather slow in 
growth. 36". $.35 
CAESAR (Morg. 1925) The crowd hails Caesar, as he stands 
tall and fine in his toga of dark blue, as the best of the low-priced 
dark purples. The petals are broad and straight hanging. 48". $.50 
CAESAR'S BROTHER (Morg. 1932) The Brother came after 
Caesar and surpassed him in richness of color and in perfection 
of form. The iris is such a dark violet as to be almost black; it 
blossoms late and is tall. 48". H.M., A.I.S., 1936. $2.50 
CHAUDIER (Pres.-Kell. 1932) A free-blooming and fast¬ 
growing medium blue, whose large flowers have good carry¬ 
ing quality. It makes a beautiful tall mass of light blue 
effect. 42". 3 for $1.00, $.50 
GATINEAU (Pres.-Kell. 1932) Topnotcher! We give this 
the highest praise of any Siberian iris. The blossoms, of which 
there are many to the stem, are the largest and the finest in form 
and substance, and are of a remarkably clear blue tone. If we 
could have but one Siberian, Gatineau would be our choice. 
40". H.M., A.I.S., 1933. $1.25 
HEAVENLY BLUE (Wat.) This iris was so certain that its 
color matched that of the sky, that it stretched up and up, trying 
to get near enough to make a closer comparison. The intense 
blue has some turquoise and white trimming. Early. 48". $.50 
KOOTENAY (Pres.-Kell. 1932) We'll root for Kootenay, 
whose light ground has a deeper shade of blue so delicately 
washed onto the petals, that it gives a very charming effect. 
36". $.50 
LADY GOD1VA A very delicate pink-lavender, with the 
petals dotted slightly deeper. The S. are narrow, but in good 
proportion. $1.50 
LLEWELLYN (Cleve. 1929) This soft colored blue Siberian 
with its soft syllabled Welsh name, is dear to the hearts of iris 
lovers. The large broad petals show no white, but do have an 
electric-blue flush that makes the iris very distinct in tone. 50". 
$ 1.00 
MADAWASKA (Pres.-Kell. 1932) A deep yet bright dark 
blue. The white patch on the petals makes it different from 
Caesar, also, it is not as tall. The growth is very rapid. 38". $.50 
MATTAWIN (Pres.-Kell. 1932) Several shades of blue 
mingle to make this a very charming iris. The F. are a violet blue, 
much like Periwinkle,- the S. are dark and the style arms are 
turquoise. $.50 
MILDRED STAHLMAN (Wash. 1931) Pale porcelain blue 
with enough turquoise to make the flower very lovely. A late 
bloomer. 30". $.75 
MISS DULUTH (Sass 1932) The only girl who comes to the 
Siberian party in a velvet gown. It is a dull dark violet, rich and 
of heavy substance. 30". 3 for $1.00, $.50
