Landscape Varieties 
Not all iris are suited to landscaping or mass planting. A good landscape 
iris must be extra free-flowering with blooms on long, strong stems that hold 
them well above foliage; must be a clear, self color. 
These iris are especially effective in mass plantings; the larger the planting 
the more gorgeous they are—lavish bloomers in strong, brilliant, solid colors. 
Amber—bright yellow 
Duke of Bedford—deep, velvety violet-purple 
Dream—clear, bright pink 
Princess Beatrice—lovely mid-blue, deliciously fragrant 
Souv. de Mme. Gaudichau—rich deep blue without i)urple 
We grew quantities of these so you can plant them by the hundred and 
priced them so the most modest budget can afford a planting of several hundred 
square feet. 
$5.00 per 100 
for any of the above. You may have as few as 30 of one kind at the 100 rate. In 
smaller quantities: 10 for $1.00; 3 for ,50c, 1 for 20c.

Beardless Iris 
Ochroleuca — a tall variety of the 
spuria group, flowers resemble the 
florist Dutch iris but are much 
larger, white with orange blotch on 
falls, very beautiful and exotic,

crowded to bloom well. Do not 
transplant often) each 25c, ,3 for 60c

ochroleuca, same shape but much 
larger, will grow to 6 feet under fav¬ 
orable conditions. Price reduced

Pseudocorus — a water iris! yellow 
beardless species doing best in 
marshy ground near pools but will 
also grow and bloom 
in drier places. each ,3.5c, .3 for 7.5r 
Siberian Iris 
Hardy varieties that are prodigious 
bloomers, established clumps often 
producing 50 or more long thin tubular 
stems rising from narrow, ornamental 
grass-like foliage. They make excellent 
cut flowers, lasting a long time in 
vases in the house. Excellent for land¬ 
scaping, especially around a pool. 
They do best with more moisture than 
should be given German iris and like 
some humus or very well-rotted ma¬ 
nure in the soil but will do well most 
anywhere except under extreme 
drought conditions. 
We have grown many varieties but 
in line with our policy of offering only 
those varieties which prove depend¬ 
able we have cut the list to four 
varieties, all distinctive, top-notch 
sorts we can highly recommend.

of brilliant mid-blue. Very free

stems. each 25c, .3 for .50c
