IRISES FOR YOUR GARDEN 
A Selected List of the Finest Varieties 
AIRY DREAM (Sturtevant) 
A delightful clear pink Rower that is very popular in our garden, 
and is one of the best of the pink-toned irises. The blooms are large 
and well shaped, and are borne on 3-foot stems. Late. Try planting 
Airy Dream near a clear blue variety, such as Shining Waters, Pale 
Moonlight, or Pacific. 35c; 3 for 75c 
ALICE HARDING (Cayeux) 
This is a large yellow of beautiful 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. $1.00/ 3 for $2.50 
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 $1.00 
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 Rowers are borne on nicely branched 
stems 48 inches tall. $2.00; 3 for $5.00 
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 Rower. The widely branched stems are tall and strong. There is 
nothing temperamental or flimsy about this giant plicata. $3.50 
ANNE-MARIE CAYEUX (Cayeux) 
A beautiful blend of soft rose and lavender, having an almost 
iridescent look. The beard is orange and the Rowers are large and 
of excellent substance. A French introduction and one of the finest. 
35c; 3 for 75c 
ARGYNNIS (Williamson) 
Standards bright yellow; falls rich reddish brown. Medium size 
Rowers 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. 
35c; 3 for 75c 
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. 2H feet. 
25c; 3 for 50c 
BED TIME (C. G. White) 
A fascinating flower of rich brown blended with violet and 
beautifully veined in both standards and falls with deep purple. A 
velvety black patch is prominently displayed at the end of the long 
golden yellow beard. Bed Time is a Rower of medium size on two- 
foot stems. Parentage is as follows: (Sofarana x Susiana) x Yellow M. 
2 feet. Early. $1.50 
BLACK WINGS (Kirkland) 
Having received much favorable comment throughout the country, 
this iris enjoys widespread popularity. As the narre suggests, it is a 
very deep blackish violet with wide flaring falls. Flowers are large 
and are carried on 30-inch stems. 35c; 3 for 75c 
BLUE & GOLD (Essig) 
We saw a fine clump of this iris growing in a New England garden 
where it has become a decided favorite. The unusually large and 
well proportioned Rowers are a beautiful shade of blue and are 
set off by a bright golden beard that makes a sharp contrast which is 
apparent from some distance,- hence the name. 2 ft. 25c; 3 for 50c 
BLUE GOWN (Essig) 
An extremely vigorous iris that increases very rapidly, and soon 
produces a large clump in the garden. The deep blue Rowers are 
very large and are carried on stiff, slender stems from four to five 
feet high. A brilliant golden beard is charmingly displayed on wide 
Raring falls. Blue Gown is an excellent iris for massing in the back¬ 
ground of your garden. 50c; 3 for $1.00
