Iris 
Coll. No. 6 
Why be satisfied with a few weeks of Iris Bloom, when you can 
enjoy these beautiful "Daughters of the Rainbow" from spring until 
frost and then on through the winter. I have arranged the following 
12 collections in the order in which they bloom, for a complete 
succession of flowers throughout the year. You may order the entire 
12 collections, or only such groups as you may need to complete a 
full season of Iris Bloom in your own garden. 
Each collection contains the very cream of a definite 
Iris Group, personally selected by me to cover the widest 
possible color range. EVERY PLANT WILL BE CAREFULLY 
LABELLED and all will be strong, healthy, flowering size 
plants. You will be pleased with these carefully planned 
collections. POSTPAID ANYWHERE IN THE U. S. CUL¬

Collection No. 2—LOVELY MINIATURE IRIS FOR THE 
ROCK GARDEN 
Also Useful for Edging Small Beds and Borders, etc. 
These Miniature jewels follow the Crocus and Iris Reticu¬ 
lata in bloom during the early spring. They are prodigious 
bloomers and have all of the characteristics of the Tall 
Bearded Iris, but on a smaller scale. In height these little 
gems range from 6 to 10 inches. This collection will contain 15 
plants in at least six choice varieties, carefully selected to 
cover the color range, including a lovely rich wine shade, an 
exquisite soft sky blue, a glistening snow white, a rich golden 
yeliow, a deep velvety purple, etc. A treasure collection for 
the rock garden, or for planting in front of the taller Irises, 
or for the front of the perennial border. Hardy anywhere. All 
labelled.

Collection No. 3—POGOCYCLUS HYBRIDS 
This race contains many of the most handsome Iris in the 
world and this collection contains only the finest of them; 
including Wm. Mohr, the very best and highest rated of all. 
Only a few years ago Wm. Mohr sold for $25.00 for a single 
plant. The Pogocyclus Hybrids follow the Miniatures in bloom, 
flowering throughout May in our Northern states (a month 
earlier in the South) and continue until the next group comes 
into flower. These Pogocyclus Hybrids are very rare and are 
as different from all other Iris as though they belonged to 
another planet; even the varieties themselves differing greatly 
from each other. All are hardy anywhere and as beautiful as 
the finest orchids. All labelled.

Collection No. 4—EARLY-FLOWERING IRIS ARISTOCRATS 
English, French and American Hybridizers have helped to 
prolong the Iris season by producing this Early Flowering race 
of Tall Bearded Iris Aristocrats. They are easy to grow and 
hardy anywhere. They follow the Pogocyclus Hybrids in bloom 
and will come into full flower in your garden while your neigh¬ 
bors are still looking for buds on their Iris. Each variety is 
a Masterpiece; one was introduced recently at $40.00 a plant; 
another sold recently at $25.00 for a single plant. Each one 
is a different color. One of them is the deepest colored Iris 
grown, so intense that it seems to be dripping with color; 
and so velvety that the entire flower seems to be cut out of 
fhe finest plush. They are all large and handsome.

Collection No. I—RETICULATA IRIS 
The First Flowers of Springtime 
Blossoms in March in our Northern States, Right Through 
Snow and Ice. (A month earlier in the South.) A rare prize 
for the Rock Garden, or any other spot where a mass of early 
flowers is wanted. Color, rich royal purple, with lovely golden 
veining at the throat. Violet scented. Rugged and easily 
grown. Free flowering, on 12 inch stalks. Four-sided, square, 
grass-like foliage. Hardy anywhere. I know of a clump that 
has flowered undisturbed for 50 years in a New England 
garden. A dozen or more bulbs should be planted together, 
about two inches apart.
