IRISES FOR YOUR GARDEN 
A Selected List of the Finest Varieties 
AIRY DREAM (Sturtevant) 
A delightful clear pink flower that is very popular in our garden, 
and is without question one of the very best of the pink-toned 
irises. The blooms are large and well shaped, and are borne on 
3-foot stems. Try planting Airy Dream near a clear blue variety, such 
as Shining Waters, Pale Moonlight, or Pacific. 50c; 3 for $1.00 
ALICE HARDING (Cayeux) 
This is a yellow of Princess Beatrice form. It is one of the soft 
yellows which are so helpful in harmonizing the colors in our 
gardens. A French introduction and new in this country Alice 
Harding is outstanding. $5.00 
ALTA CALIFORNIA (Mitchell) 
Here is a yellow iris of real merit. The standards are a clear 
medium tone of yellow and the falls a shade deeper, faintly bronzed 
at the base. The blossoms are exceptionally large, and are carried on 
splendid stems four feet high. We have seen this iris performing 
equally well in California, Illinois and Massachusetts. 
75c,- 3 for $2.00 
ALTA ROSA (C. G. White) 
A seedling of the beautiful blend, Brown Betty, which accounts 
for the warm bronze which blends with the rich rose-lavender of 
this flower. In form and bearing it is an aristocrat. The standards of 
the beautifully formed flowers are shaped like palm-leaf fans with 
their tips touching. The large flowers are borne on nicely branched 
stems 48 inches tall. $5.00 
BLACK WINGS (Kirkland) 
Having received much favorable comment throughout the country, 
this ins enjoys widespread popularity. As the name suggests, it is a 
very deep blackish violet with wide flaring falls. Flowers are large 
and are carried on 30-inch stems. 60c ; 3 for $1.25 
BLUE & GOLD (Essig) 
We saw a fine clump of this iris growing in a New England garden 
where it has become a decided favorite. The unusually large and 
well proportioned flowers are a beautiful shade of blue and are 
set off by a bright golden beard that makes a sharp contrast which is 
apparent from some distance; hence the name. 50c,- 3 for $1.00 
BLUE GOWN (Essig) 
An extremely vigorous iris that increases very rapidly, and soon 
produces a large clump in the garden. The deep blue flowers are 
very large and are carried on stiff, slender stems from four to five 
feet high. A brilliant golden beard is charmingly displayed on wide 
flaring falls. Blue Gown is an excellent iris for massing in the back¬ 
ground of your garden. 75c,- 3 for $2.00 
BLUE PETER (C. G. White) 
It seems to be difficult to produce a top-notch dark blue-ourple 
iris. New ones are hailed with rapturous delight but soon are allowed 
to drift into oblivion—a "passing parade." The faults of most of 
this color have been short, poorly branched stems with flowers 
crowded at the top of the stem, and dull, funereal color. Blue Peter 
does not have those faults for the tall stalks have three well-spaced 
branches on which to carry the jaunty flowers, and although the 
color, which completely covers the Rower, is dark and has a blackish 
sheen, there is a brilliance about it. $7.50 
AMBROSIA (Sturtevant) 
This is a very delicate pale pink with a deep orange beard. 
Its clean color and smooth satiny finish make it a favorite with 
those who appreciate refinement and quality in their flowers. 
The blooms are of medium size and are borne on three foot stems. 
Excellent as a cut flower. 50c; 3 for $1.00 
ANNE-MARIE CAYEUX (Cayeux) 
A beautiful blend of soft rose and lavender, having an almost 
irridescent look. The beard is orange and the flowers are large 
and of excellent substance. A French introduction and one of 
the finest. 75c; 3 for $2.00 
AURELLE (Denis) 
This iris has become popular in this country. A fine red-purple 
bicolor with rich velvety falls and a golden beard. The flowers 
are large and of the popular semi-flaring type. 3 l /2 feet. 
50c; 3 for $1.00 
AUTUMN DAWN (Nies) 
This charming variety is ideally suited for landscape effects. 
It is a clear, bright blend of old gold and pink, and is especially 
charming when planted in a group with a clear blue, such as 
Shining Waters or Pacific. A distinctive and valuable feature of 
Autumn Dawn is its free blooming habit. In Southern California 
it is practically an ever-bloomer, and produces flowers which 
are excellent for cutting many months of the year. Reports from 
all parts of the country assure us of its excellent performance and 
complete hardiness. 28 inches. $1.50; 3 for $3.50 
BEAU SABREUR (Williamson) 
A remarkably refined and finished flower of great beauty. The 
standards are a soft yellow faintly flushed with red-purple and 
contrast in a striking manner with the falls which are a very rich 
velvety ox-blood red. You will admire this iris. 2}^ feet.
