PEARL LUSTRE (Shasta x Nene) EM. 38". 
This flower is blush yellow through¬ 
out, being much lighter in shade than 
Lady Paramount. Petals are 3 inches 
wide by 4 inches long with F. semi- 
flaring and displaying an orange 
beard. $10.00 
PINK IMPERIAL (Buechley Giant x Im¬ 
perial Blush) EM. 52". We believe this 
to be the finest pink iris yet originated 
and thought so highly of it that we had 
a true-to-life actual size color plate 
made of one of the blossoms which 
you will see on the cover of this 
booklet. 
There are never less than seven 
blossoms to a stalk, and stalks never 
grow less than 50 inches tall in our 
garden. The flowers are much larger 
than those of Imperial Blush or Pink 
Satin and are slightly deeper pink. 
Substance is better than other pinks 
and petals do not fade in sunlight. 
Both S. and F. are self colored of deep 
blush pink. F. 2% inches wide by 3% 
inches long, slightly incurving, with 
orange beard at base of petal unno- 
ticeable because it ccmes but a short 
way down. 
Veining on S. and F. is so similar to 
ground color that it scarcely can be 
seen. Blossoms are slightly fragrant. 
There has been a great demand for 
pink iris flowers as evidenced by the 
fact that Pink Satin ranks among the 
three best sellers of all lime, and we 
are glad to be able to offer such a 
marked improvement over such older, 
shorter, and smaller-flowered 
pinks. $25.00 
PORCELAIN BEAUTY. M. 31". M^e can 
recommend this one very highly be¬ 
cause of its distinctive coloring — a 
blend of white, cream, and soft yel¬ 
low, which resembles old porcelain. 
There is no variety which has greater 
substance, the petals feeling like leath¬ 
er and the flowers lasting for many 
days. Stalks, though short, are well- 
branched and flowers are of good size. 
No one who desires a short-stalked 
cream iris will be disappointed with 
this origination. $2.00 
PRINCE AMBA (Mary Geddes x Helios) L. 40". Similar to Helios but 
larger, taller, more floriferous, and stronger stalked; also the 
penciling on F. is much lighter and is of brown instead of rose. 
S. pure lemon yellow; F. lemon yellow with just the faintest 
lining of brown. Style arms lemon yellow. Unusually late to 
bloom. $10.00 
RAIN OF FIRE. M. 34". A worthy addition to the red group. S. of 
reddish-buff; F. semi-flaring of bright rose red, bearing short gold 
beard. This variety has a very long bloorning period and is a 
rapid increaser. $2.00 
THE RED BRICK. ML. 30". Just the color of a red brick. Six good- 
sized blossoms to a short well-branched stalk. S. domed with 
strong red suffusion throughout; F. medium velvety red with no 
apparent undertone. Blossom is almost a self. There is a gold 
beard on F. and noticeable red veining on yellow ground at haft. 
Not fragrant. One of the most distinct reds. $10.00 
TYPICAL IRIS BRANCHING 
WINE GLORY. EML. 36". The color of this flower is difficult to de¬ 
scribe inasmuch as it is neither a brilliant red, a purple, or even 
a red-purple blend. It is a combination of red, purple, violet, and 
some other shades which produce the same effect as when a 
glass of red wine is held between the eye and the light. An 
stablished clump bears more bloom stalks than any other variety 
we ever have grown; it is the second year before this variety 
makes a good showing. It starts blooming among the very earliest 
and finishes among the very latest. M. F. Stuntz of Snyder, New 
York writes, "I saw Wine Glory last year and feel that it ought 
to be listed at more than $1.00. It is a great Iris." $1.00 
WONDERCHILD. ML. 37". The huge flowers of deepest midnight 
blue are placed close together and make each stalk a gigantic 
bouguet. The color is similar to that of Meldoric, as shown in 
picture on back cover, but the plants are much more vigorous and 
multiply more rapidly. This is one of the best dark sorts now 
available. $1.00 
Entire collection of 17 originations, valued at $136.50, for $87.50.
