WILD TYPES OF POGONIRIS 
We are especially interested in the wild forms of iris and have a consider¬ 
able collection of which the following of the bearded irises are now available

plants.

GENERAL LIST OF BEARDED IRISES 
BLUE TRIUMPH (Grinter 1934). Described as “ice blue”. ..each $3.50 
CHEERIO (Ayres 1934). It is a thrilling experience to watch this regal 
iris unfold the splendid dark red velvet of its falls; for cutting or exhibition 
it has hardly a rjv al, but in the garden it unfortunately remains a distinctly 
cool-weather plant and should be placed accordingly; 3^4-4 ft. each $3.50 
DARK KNIGHT (Salbach 1934). A large dark reddish iris. each $2.00 
EASTER MORN (Essig 1931). Magnificent cream white~ea. 75c; 3 for' $2 
G. P. BAKER (Perry 1930). Tall, branching light yellow; one of the 
English Dykes Medal winners. each 75c 
HAPPY DAYS (Mitchell 1934). Very large deep yellow; 40 in. ea. $3.50 
JEAN CAYEUX (Cayeux 1931). Not tall, but sufficiently so to carry the 
beautifully rounded and ruffled Havana brown flowers, warmed by a golden 
sheen. This iris possesses the remarkable double distinction of deserving 
its Dykes Medal award and looking reasonably like the colored illustrations 
of it; 30 in. each $1.25 
RED DOMINION (Ayres 1931). Velvety red-purple. .each 60c 
RUBEO (Mitchell 1931). Gigantic dark reddish bicolor; unfortunately a 
very shy bloomer here... .each 60c 
SIERRA BLUE (Essig 1932). A monumental plant, the great lacquered 
lavender-violet flowers standing imperially on sturdy, well-branched stems; 
one of the very few Dykes Medal irises which impresses me as genuinely de¬ 
serving so high an award; 4-5 ft. each $1.50 
SIR KNIGHT (Ashley 1934). Large deep violet self. each $1.00 
UKIAH (Essig 1934). Very intense dark brownish; 3 ft. each $2.00
