BEARDLESS IRIS SPECIES AND HYBRIDS 
Siberian Iris 
CAESAR 
(included in this 
collection) 
R USSIA and Central Europe are the home of Iris "Siberica" while "Orienfalis" comes from Manchuria 
and Japan. These two species have been crossed and the qualities and characteristics of both par¬ 
ents have been blended together and intermingled to produce a race that is now commonly called "Si¬ 
berian Iris." 
These dainty flowers are not so large as the Tall Bearded or the Japanese Iris, but they are borne in 
the greatest profusion. They are hardy anywhere, of the easiest culture, and ore the most accommo¬ 
dating of all Iris, as they will flower profusely in full sun or semi-shade, in a damp or dry spot, their 
preference being for a moist spot. A single plant when established will form a clump that will produce 
50 or more flower stalks. The flowers grow on thin, hollow stems, and have ornamental, grass-like foliage. 
In addition to being unusually ornamental for the home garden, they are especially fine for landscape 
work or for bordering a brook or pond, where they should be planted just above the water line. 
They will take care of themselves anywhere. As cut flowers, and for artistic arrangements they are 
exquisite. Devote a spot in your garden to the lovely Siberian Iris. They will fill it with beauty. 
For a complete list of all of the Finest Siberian Iris see pages 
30 and 31 of my general catalogue. 
For a continuation of the Iris flowering season nothing is more important than these marvelous and little known Beardless 
Iris Species and Hybrids, for they fill in the gap in the flowering season between the Tall Bearded Iris and the Japan¬ 
ese Iris, flowering throughout the month of June in our Northern gardens (a month earlier in the South) and continuing 
to bloom until the Japanese Iris are in full flower. This group consists of attractive European, Asiatic and American 
Species; and many beautiful hybrids created by crossing these various types. 
The flowers are ideal for cutting as they lend themselves naturally to the most artistic ar¬ 
rangements. They are not only different' in form from all other Iris, but each variety also has 
an individual distinction of form and color all its own. 
They are fine for any part of the garden, but especially useful for the semi-shady nook where 
other Iris would not do so well. There is a congenial spot in every garden where these beauties 
will make themselves at home. They are hardy anywhere, and once planted they may be left to 
themselves for years. There is nothing that surpasses them for naturalizing in bold masses. Here 
are just a few of the most attractive of these Beardless Species and Hybrids: 
CACIQUE — 42 in. This is one of the finest of all Beardless Hybrids, being a large, free flowering 
rich violet color. 25c. 
FULVA— 24 in. A color not approached in any other Iris, coppery red. See color illustration on 
first page. 25c. 
GIGANTICOERULEA— The finest of the newly discovered Louisiana Species. A huge violet blue 
flower that will grow 5 feet high in a favorable location. See color illustration at left. $1.00. 
KAEMPFERI— 42 in. The native wild type from Japan, the origin of our modern Japanese Iris. The 
strain I am offering is a most attractive deep red-purple, flowering profusely over a long period with 
flowers that are double the size of the ordinary wild Kaempferi, and almost twice as tall. This is 
one of the most attractive Iris I have for mass effect. 35c. 
LORD WOLSELEY— 46 in. This is one of the largest and finest of the "Spurias" 
and not only makes a fine garden display, but is also marvelous as a cut flower. 20c 
PSEUDACORUS— An English Species. Deep yellow. Excellent for growing in 
a pool, but equally at home anywhere in the garden. See color illustration on 
first page, under "Water Iris". 20c.
