^ Something NEW in iRiSES 
After our catalogue had gone to print, Mr. C. G. White was 
finally persuaded to release the latest and best of his new breed 
of irises upon which he has been working for many years. Mr. 
White is the creator of such famous irises as Lady Paramount, Chosen, 
Fiesta, Brown Betty, Mohrson, Sweet Alibi, etc. Along with his excellent 
work with the tall bearded irises, he has been devoting much time and 
effort to the task of producing irises with the fascinating qualities of the 
Oncocylus and Regelio-cyclus strains, which at the same time possess the 
easy growing qualities of the tall bearded irises. 
Though it has been a difficult task, out of hundreds of crosses between 
nearly every known species of Oncocyclus and Regelio-cyclus iris and count¬ 
less varieties of the hardy tall bearded strain, several remarkable pogo-cyclus 
hybrids have been developed. To those who are looking for something new and 
thrilling in Irises, we offer these eight new and exclusive introductions from 
Mr. White’s garden. They are what Mr. White hopes will be the forerunners 
of a new type of iris. We take pleasure in offering them because of their un¬ 
equalled beauty, and also because of the new and fascinating possibilities they 
present to the iris breeder. 
Many will wish to know If these new hybrids are hardy In the colder cli¬ 
mates. We are able to give very definite Information in this regard because a 
thorough test has been made In an iris garden In central Illinois. This grower 
writes that without exception the plants of these new hybrids placed in her 
garden on trial came through a severe winter in good condition without any 
special protection whatsoever. 
The supply of these new irises Is of course limited.
