True Charm 
Tapestry —40 in. A magnificent new variety by Dr. 
Ayres, and one of his favorites and mine. Reminds 
one of the fine variety Persia, excepting that the 
dominant color tone is more of a tapestry red. A 
large flower, measuring seven inches, with erect 
standards and straight hanging falls, which gives ideal 
garden effect. S—soft violet; F—deeper violet, but 
with a border the color of the standards.50 
Tenaya —42 in. The ultimate goal in a smoothly 
finished rich velvety dark red-purple self, of perfect 
form, with a golden-brown beard. 1.00

NATIONAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. A most 
attractive soft rosy-mauve, the general garden effect 
being a pleasing and unusual tone of pink. Large

Theodolinda —42 in. A huge new "Plicata," larger than 
San Francisco, but in an entirely different shape, with 
upright standards and straight hanging falls, the 
standards being beautifully edged with a soft blue 
feather-stitching. The falls have a deeper feather- 
stitched edging at the throat, but lighter on the 
balance of the surface. An improvement in the 
"Plicata" group. 1*00 
Thistledown —40 in. A new large, ruffled white with 
falls flushed soft lavender originated by Miss. 
Sturtevant, whose introduction of this variety is suffi¬ 
cient assurance of its' being a worth while addition 
to the group of white Irises. 1.50 
Thorsten —32 in. FRAGRANT. LATE. A lovely rich 
blue-and-pansy-violet bi-color with plush-like petals. 
A flower of perfect form, good substance and free 
flowering. Well worth a place in the finest Iris 
garden .15 
Thuratus —34 in. A NEW SASS BLACK IRIS, in reality 
an exceedingly rich blackish prune-purple. One of 
the darkest of all Iris, with a rich lustre that make it 
superb .25 
Tall Bearded Iris • Continued 
Timagami—36 in. A magnificent 1935 introduction of 
Dr. Kirkland. A brilliant flower, with golden-tan 
standards and red falls with copper tones at the base 
of both standards and red falls. Somewhat like Aztec, 
but ten days earlier. 5.00 
Tint-O-Tan—40 in. A combination of bronzy tan and 
yellow, givinq a brown effect. A handsome new 
Iris . 3.50 
Tioga—40 in. EXQUISITELY FRAGRANT. One of the 
finest deep, rich, velvety blue-and-violet bi-colors, 
with flowers of perfect shape, full flaring falls, heavy 
substance, smooth texture, nicely placed on tall well 
branched stems. Should be in every Iris collec¬ 
tion . 35 
Titus—36 in. EARLY. A very lovely pink-toned variety, 
somewhat resembling Aphrodite, but flowering about 
two weeks earlier. The first early tall flowering 
pink . 35 
Trail's End—38 in. HONORABLE MENTION AMERI¬ 
CAN IRIS SOCIETY. A magnificent new blend. 
S—yellow, overlaid soft orange-red; F—orange-red, 
with a vivid orange beard. 4.00 
True Charm—38 in. FRAGRANT. A superb white 
"Plicata" with blue feathered edge. See color illus¬ 
tration page 18. Beautiful as an individual flower and 
makes a magnificent mass effect. There were about 
50 "Plicatas" ahead of True Charm, beginning with 
Mme. Chereau, with its pinched falls, then Ma Mie, 
with its better falls, but coarse appearance &c. In 
True Charm all the defects of the previous "Plicatas" 
has been overcome and in this variety we have the 
perfect "Plicata." See color illustration. 10 
True Delight—36 in. This is a perfect counterpart of 
True Charm, but while True Charm has the blue toned 
feathered edge, the marking on True Delight takes 
on a bright pink tone. 25 
Tuscarora—42 in. A brilliant red-toned variety that 
always attracts a lot of attention in the garden. .15 
Ukiah —36 in. A superb new introduction, with huge 
flowers in very rich dark brown and red tones. The 
standards, which are of soft dusky rose color, remind 
one of washed silk and the blackish-maroon falls are 
of the richest velvety texture seen in any Iris. The 
beard and centre of the flower are old gold. . 3.50 
Uncle Remus—40 in. A magnificent deep purple, of 
Mme. Gaudichau parentage, but of different form 
and a larger and finer flower. 20 
Valencia—24 in. A most attractive Iris in the russet 
colorings of the Valencia orange, from which it 
derives its name. No other Iris in quite the same 
delightful coloring. Beautifully ruffled standards. .15 
Valor—50 in. VERY FRAGRANT. Given an AWARD 
OF MERIT by the AMERICAN IRIS SOCIETY, 1936. 
The tallest, largest, richest and finest of its type, the 
genera! effect being a deep, rich blackish blue-violet 
bi-color, but with marked changes in different lights, 
the color in bright sunlight being a brilliant 
crimson. 75 
Van Cleve—36 in. FRAGRANT. AWARD OF MERIT 
AMERICAN IRIS SOCIETY. One of our finest and 
most brilliant red-purples, with rich velvety falls. A 
bargain while they last. 10 
Venus de Milo—44 in. FRAGRANT. The fact that this 
variety was second choice of the Judges in deciding 
upon the variety that was to receive the Dykes 
Memorial Medal for 1936, tells its own story. It is 
a gigantic pure snow white, a perfect flower in 
every way and considered by many experts as the 
best white. A fine stock of extra fine large rhizomes 
enables me to make a low price on this handsome 
Iris for the first time. 35
