IRISES FOR YOUR GARDEN 
A Selected List of the Finest Varieties 
AIRY DREAM (Sturtevant) 
A delightful clear pink flower that is very popular in our garden, 
and is without question one of the very best of the pink-toned 
irises. The blooms are large and well shaped, and are borne on 
3-foot stems. Try planting Airy Dream near a clear blue variety, such 
as Shining Waters, Pale Moonlight, or Pacific. 50c; 3 for $1.00 
ALICE HARDING (Cayeux) 
This is a yellow of Princess Beatrice form. It is one of the soft 
yellows which are so helpful in harmonizing the colors in our 
gardens. A French introduction and new in this country, Alice 
Harding is outstanding. $3.50 
ALTA CALIFORNIA (Mitchell) 
Here is a yellow iris of real merit. The standards are a clear 
medium tone of yellow and the falls a shade deeper, faintly bronzed 
at the base. The blossoms are exceptionally large, and are carried on 
splendid stems four feet high. We have seen this iris performing 
equally well in California, Illinois and Massachusetts. 
50c; 3 for $1.25 
ALTA ROSA (C. G. White) 
A seedling of the beautiful blend. Brown Betty, which accounts 
for the warm bronze which blends with the rich rose-lavender of 
this flower. In form and bearing it is an aristocrat. The standards of 
the beautifully formed flowers are shaped like palm-leaf fans with 
their tips touching. The large flowers are borne on nicely branched 
stems 48 inches tall. $3.50 
ALWAYS (C. G. White) 
This iris gives an impression of a sturdiness that might endure 
always. The huge flowers are as if carved from old ivory, so thick 
and firm is their substance, yet delicately decorated with veins and 
fine spatterings of bronzed red-purple. The heavy orange beard 
accents and adds to the yellow glow which suffuses the center of 
the flower. The widely branched stems are tall and strong. There is 
nothing temperamental or flimsy about this giant plicata. $7.50 
AMIGO (Williamson) 
Here is one of the most outstanding and beautiful of the newer 
irises which we saw last year. We hasten to add it to our collection 
knowing that it will fascinate others as it does us, and that it will 
increase in popularity as it becomes more widely distributed. 
The standards are very pale lavender and the falls a deep rich 
violet with a velvety texture. A margin of pale violet borders the 
falls and gives the flower the character and beauty of a lovely 
evening gown. A strong grower with large flowers on three foot 
well branched stems. $5.00 
ANNE-MARIE CAYEUX (Cayeux) 
A beautiful blend of soft rose and lavender, having an almost 
iridescent look. The beard is orange and the flowers are large and 
of excellent substance. A French introduction and one of the finest. 
50c; 3 for $1.00 
ARGYNNIS (Williamson) 
Standards bright yellow; falls rich reddish brown. Medium size 
flowers on 2 foot stems. Good for cutting. 25c; 3 for 50c 
AUTUMN DAWN (Nies) 
This charming variety is ideally suited for landscape effects. It is 
a clear, bright blend of old gold and pink, and is especially charming 
when planted in a group with a clear blue, such as Shining Waters 
or Pacific. A distinctive and valuable feature of Autumn Dawn is 
its free blooming habit. In Southern California it is practically an 
ever-bloomer, and produces flowers which are excellent for cutting 
many months of the year. Reports from all parts of the country assure 
us of its excellent performance and complete hardiness. 28 inches. 
$1.00; 3 for $2.50 
BEAU SABREUR (Williamson) 
A remarkably refined and finished flower of great beauty. The 
standards are a soft yellow faintly flushed with red-purple and 
contrast in a striking manner with the falls which are a very rich 
velvety ox-blood red. You will admire this iris. 2)^ feet. 
50c; 3 for $1.00 
BEOWULF (Schreiner) 
Hailed as the first iris of a true maroon red color, this new variety 
is said to produce in the garden an entirely new effect. The flowers 
are not only rich and deep like many of the red-purple irises, but 
at the same time possess a warm and softly glowing quality. The falls 
are solid smooth maroon, blending to a generous margining of soft 
rich brown and the standards are of this same deep brown tone. 
A golden beard gives a glowing center to the flower. Large, early 
blooming, well branched, and growing to a height of about three 
feet. $ 6.00
