MORNING MAGIC (Cleve. 1931) This pink-hued lavender 
Siberian lends magic to the morning picture of the garden. One 
of the loveliest of all, with many blossoms to the stalk. Early. $1.50 
MOUNTAIN POOL (Cleve. 1931) As cool and refreshing 
as the bluest waters of a mountain pool, these low-growing 
flowers almost cup their petals in an attempt to hold the reflec¬ 
tion of the sky. A clear sky blue, with no white. 24" $.75 
NIPOGON (Pres.-Kell. 1932) A medium blue, whose straight¬ 
hanging falls are flushed with purple. 38". 3 for $.75, $.35 
OPAL BLUE (Sturt. 1933) The blue of an opal, translated 
into an iris. A mass of sky blue for the garden, that has an im¬ 
mediate appeal. $1.00 
OTTAWA (Pres. 1928) The flowers are a violet-purple, 
more brilliant than Caesar and his Brother, and further dif¬ 
ferentiated by a conspicuous white border around the falls. $3.00 
PERIWINKLE (Cleve. 1927) A bright violet-blue, with some 
white at the center. The S. are very tall for this group and are 
flushed with purple; the F. have a turquoise midrib, are hori¬ 
zontal and finely finished. This iris is one of our favorites. 40". $.50 
RED EMPEROR (Sturt. 1918) Absolutely distinct! No other 
Siberian so nearly approaches red. In reality, the wide petals 
are a wine-red, with just a touch of blue. 32". $1.00 
RIDEAU (Pres.-Kell. 1932) A light blue, the horizontal falls 
having a narrow darker flush along the center. The style arms 
are silvery. 36". 3 for $.75, $.35 
ROYAL FLUSH (Cleve. 1929) A deep purple with a flush 
of red. Not as red as Red Emperor, but much taller. 52". $2.00 
SILVERTIP (Cleve. 1929) A tip to Siberian buyers — buy 
Silvertip! A fascinating light blue, with silvery center, that 
makes an entrancing garden picture when planted with light 
pink bearded irises. This, too, is one of our favorites. 40". $.75 
SNOW CREST (Gage 1932) This rides the crest of the wave 
of popularity for the white Siberians. A white flower that is 
pure and sparkling, with slightly frilled edges. It is large in size, 
and is sure to bloom and increase rapidly. This is by far the 
loveliest that we have seen. 38". H.M., A.I.S., 1936. $1.00 
SUMMER SKY (Cleve.) Different from all other Siberians. 
The blossoms are a pale blue and white, very delicate and very 
free-flowering. This is very new, andhas not been previously 
offered, as far as we know. $3.00 
Bulbous 
DUTCH IRISES These irises are best known through the 
florists’ windows, but are very satisfactory when planted outside. 
We find that the bulbs sometimes deteriorate after two years, 
but they are inexpensive enough, so that one can treat them as 
biennials. Plant them in the fall, about 4" deep, and give them 
a generous mulch of peat-moss. We can furnish them in assorted 
colors: — white, yellow and various shades of blue. 12". 
Per dozen $.75 
I. BUCHARICA R.G. Like a miniature corn stalk, with highly 
varnished leaves. The attractive cream and yellow blossoms 
TURQUOISE CUP (Cleve. 1927) The flower is really a 
delightful soft sky-blue, but the large turquoise stigmas so domi¬ 
nate the effect, that we drink joyfully from this Turquoise Cup. 
36 ' $.75 
WHITE DOVE (Cleve. 1927) This Dove is so tall, that we 
are sure it must have borrowed its legs from another bird! The 
tallest of the whites,- the falls droop. 60". $.50 
WHITE WAY (Way. 1935) These large snow-white flowers 
have a heavy wavy substance. We shall be interested to compare 
it with Snow Crest. 38". $1.50 
ZEST (Sturt. 1934) Distinct in that the bright medium blue 
flowers have unusually red style arms, so that the effect is quite 
brilliant. 30". $.75

Irises 
appear in each leaf axis. Although a native of Bokhara, this iris 
is hardy in the north, and will prove an interesting addition 
to the garden, as it is absolutely distinct from any other iris. 
It flowers in April. Plant the bulbs about 4" deep and give a 
generous mulch. 12". Fall delivery. Each $1.00 
I. RETICULATA R.G. The earliest iris to bloom, coming with 
the crocuses. The color is a fine rich amethyst, with a dash of 
yellow on each petal; very charming. You will never want to be 
without it after you once see it. Plant in the fall, 4" deep, and 
give them the same heavy mulch. 4". Per dozen $2.00
