NEON (Salbach 1934) M. 40". As one might infer from its 
name, this is one of the brightest varieties listed. S. bronzy 
gold: F. velvety carmine with bright gold beard and golden 
haft. A good example of candelabrum branching, it carries 
a good quota of both buds and blossoms. $4.00

buff and lustrous blue. F. buff tinged blue; S. buff overlaid 
coerulean blue. $ .50

flowers imaginable. A delicate shade of rose, flushed cream 
and yellow at the center. The entire flower is softly frilled. 
There is no variety which surpasses this for dainty coloring 
and garden effect. $ .65 
NORDIC (Kirkland 1934) M. 40". An unusual flower of 
brilliant coloring. The stem is tall and the bloom large and 
well formed. S. golden tan; F. bright violet-red. Plant 
growth vigorous. A fine massing variety. $1.00

of good substance. S. dark bronze; F. blackish brown, broad 
and velvety. Low and well branched. $ -50

and widely branched. S. high and arching; F. ovate and 
flaring. An exceptionally hardy and fine garden iris. $2.00 
PERSIA (Ayres 1929) M. 42". We believe this is now the 
best liked of all blends as it does well in all climates and 
holds its colors well. S. smoky blue; F. rich purple blue in 
the center, shaded lighter at the edge. The many flowers 
are borne on superbly branched stalks. The bloom has a 
silken texture and is aptly named, as its coloring is that of 
a rich Persian rug. Highly recommended.

yellow self of the type so valuable in the landscape picture.

meritorious kind. $ .50 
PINK SATIN (J. Sass 1930) M. 42". The clearest pink we 
have seen. A pink self with fine large flowers on widely

its name. Not a deep pink, but medium tone of pure color.
