Separate lists, of Standard Irises priced at 
$1 per dozen, Fall Blooming Irises, 
Dwarfs, Pogo-Cyclus hybrids, Beardless 
Irises and Peonies will be found on fol¬ 
lowing pages. 
In the following descriptions the let¬ 
ter S refers to the standards or upright 
petals, F refers to the falls which are 
the lower or hanging petals. A self is an 
Iris of uniform color, a bicolor has 
standards of one color and falls of a 
deeper shade, a plicata is a light or white 
flower marked or stippled with a darker 
shade particularly on the margins, a varie- 
gata has falls of red, brown or red- 
purple and yellow standards, an amoena 
has white standards and colored falls, 
and a blend is a combination of two or 
more colors. Intermediates are early 
flowering sorts resulting from crosses 
between tall bearded Irises and dwarfs. 
The first intermediates were intermedi¬ 
ate in size, height and season of bloom, 
but the newer ones are as large and tall 
as tall bearded varieties.
