The above species are among the most 
beautifully colored iris ever seen. They are 
not excelled in color by any other type of 
iris. 
I am at present interested in hybridizing 
various beardless types of iris native to 
Louisiana. For grace of form and richness 
of color these are unsurpassed. They have 
a great future, and when better known will 
be even more popular than our best German 
iris.

Louisiana types in mixed colors selected 
hybrids, $2.50 per dozen.
