self, remarkable for brilliancy of color, smooth finish, and trim form, almost

PENUMBRA (1932). A deep bicolor of striking contrast between the 
glowing yellow of the throat and the Vinaceous Drab S. on the one hand 
and deep Violet Carmine F. on the other, the sudden changes in the flower 
from light to shadow thus suggesting the name. The Pyrite Yellow haft is 
heavily veined Mars Brown, the beard solid Cadmium Yellow. It is a pity

iris; 3-314 ft.. ... .. ...each $2 00

sity of Redlands whose colors of maroon and gray it flaunts as nearly as we 
can soon expect in a single iris; 5 ft....... ...each $15.00 
SAGAMORE (1928). A superb tall fulva hybrid on the general order of 
Cacique, but redder and with a larger and more brilliant gold signal on the

blooming with or ahead of San Gabriel; 414-5 ft.; long season, with many 
buds to a stem; of outstanding garden value. ..(withdrawn for 1938) 
WATTII (Introd. 1927). An amazing iris from the southeastern slopes 
of the Himalayas with a habit somewhat recalling a dwarf bamboo; flowers 
white or slightly tinted, borne in airy panicles over a long season; in South¬

to have been the first in America to grow and flower this, one of the most 
precious of all irises; 4-5 ft. each $1.00 
NEW INTRODUCTIONS FOR 1938 
1 hese include some beautiful and distinctive subjects which I feel sure will 
bring regret to no purchaser. I am confident that most of these will be 
grown and cherished long after many now being put on the market with far 
greater fanfare have been forgotten.
