SPECIAL PRIZE OF THE IRIS COMMISSION FOR THE BEST 
THREE IRISES OF THE YEAR. A 1933 introduction of the famous 
French concern of Cayeux and named after the President of The 
Iris Society of England, himself a famous hybridizer. Many mag¬ 
nificent, large, perfectly formed flowers, of an outstanding blend¬ 
ing of colors, are produced in greatest profusion. The illustration

as it IS much finer than the illustration. IT SOLD IN 1933 AT 
$25.00 FOR A SINGLE PLANT. A magnificent stock of extra fine

wax-like substance. Stood several days of 100 degrees of tem¬

color throughout, with a bronze beard. Makes a marvelously 
rich garden mass.75

in a class by itself, as there is no other Iris like it. The dome¬ 
shaped standards are beautifully creped; cream colored, with a 
faint bronze overcast. The flaring falls are of the same color, 
prominently veined pansy-violet, with old-gold veining at the 
throat to the tip of the beard. One of my own introduction .20

HIGHEST INTERNATIONAL HONORS, this Medal being given

Rheingauperle—34 in. EARLY. SWEET ORANGE-BLOSSOM FRAG¬ 
RANCE. An exquisite flower of fine form, in an unusual soft 
orchid-pink tone and very free flowering. For a delightful garden 
mass, or as a cut flower, this is my choice of all the pinks and 
if I could have but one inexpensive pink 1 am sure it would be 
Rheingauperle. Anyone of refined taste will immediately fall in 
love with this real gem when they see it in flower. Now pienti- 
ful enough to be sold at a very low price.15 
Rheintochter—36 in. I HAVE ALWAYS CONSIDERED THIS ONE 
OF THE TOP-NOTCH WHITE BI-COLORS, OF WHICH THERE 
ARE SO FEW, but I withdrew it from sale for several years in 
order to be able to accumulate a sufficient stock to enable me 
to offer it at a moderate price, so that it might be within the 
reach of all. The standards are white, with a slight flush of 
lilac; and the falls are deep velvety violet-blue with a lilac bor¬ 
der. It is a real beauty, of large size and perfect form and a 
very free bloomer. You are sure to fall in love with Rhein¬ 
tochter . . .25
