SAN FRANCISCO 
A Choice Collection of 
BEARDED IRISES FOR 
YOUR GARDEN 
There is no other flower that combines so 
well with the rose as the bearded iris. Clumps 
of irises planted among the roses add much to 
the garden’s attraction at blooming time. 
Irises require so little care, are practically 
free from any known pests, and give the gar¬ 
dener so much for so little trouble. When 
planted for mass effects there is no other 
flower that can compare to the iris. 
We offer Oregon grown rhizomes of large 
size and vigorous health that will give you 
blooms the first season. All our plants are 
hardy, having weathered more than two feet 
of snow and a severe winter. In spite of this 
they mature early and can be shipped the lat¬ 
ter part of June so that you can get them well 
established before fall. 
The popularity of the newer irises has been 
on the increase for the last few years which 
makes it hard to keep all of the most desirable 
varieties available throughout the shipping 
season. Order early so you may not be disap¬ 
pointed. 
All shipments are sent with transportation 
prepaid. 
No orders accepted for less than $1.00. 
Terms, cash with order, sent by check, draft 
or money order. 
We guarantee all rhizomes to be first size, 
true to name, free from disease and pests, and 
to reach you in a live and healthy condition. 
We do not guarantee them to live or grow in 
your garden under conditions over which we 
have no control. 
ALLIES — 38 inches. A French autumn flowering iris, that 
blooms not only in the spring and fall, but intermittently 
throughout the summer as well. The coloring is a combination 
of red-brown and fawn, a bit on the order of Dauntless, al¬ 
though lighter in tone.25 
ALIQUIPPA —34 inches. Good sized pale yellow with 
luminous center of deeper coloring. This iris, which has re¬ 
ceived a silver medal of the A. I. S., is a very free bloomer 
and increases rapidly, thus being especially desirable where a 
mass of soft yellow is wanted in the garden.25 
APHRODITE — 48 inches. Very fragrant and beautiful 
violet-pink self, with white flushed throat. Tall stalks, lasting 
long in bloom.20 
ASIA — 54 inches. One of the most famous irises ever offered 
and still one of the best and most distinct. Standards silvery 
lavender, shading to yellow. Falls pale red-purple, lighter near 
the margins. Very brilliant beard. Blooms of huge size, on 
four-foot stems .25 
BALDWIN —42 inches. A deep manganese violet self of 
striking color tone. Tall, well branched and fine, it deserves 
its wide popularity .30 
BLUE VELVET — 40 inches. Few irises have received more 
favorable comment than has this rich velvety seedling. An 
iris of the Swazi type, larger, bluer, and finer in every way. 
Not very rapid of increase, it will be in demand for a long 
time to come . 60 
BRUNO —36 inches. A fine bronzy bieolor with tawny 
stands and rich velvety red-brown falls. Late and long bloom¬ 
ing season. Good . 20 
CAMELLIARD — 18 inches. A charming pastel toned varie- 
gata with amber stands and falls deeply edged with clear 
wine red. A favorite . 25

color of the Dominion race, with velvety texture and wonder¬ 
ful substance . 25 
CAROLINE E. STRINGER —33 inches. A very lovely soft 
pink to flesh color. Beautifully frilled. 25 
COPPERSMITH — 42 inches. An unusual mixture of cop¬ 
per, bronze, cinnamon, wine, and rich red velvet effect in the 
sun . 25
