Snowdrift —32 in. LATE. DELIGHTFULLY FRAGRANT, AWARD¬ 
ED A SILVER MEDAL BY THE IRIS SOCIETY OF ENGLAND. 
A lovely warm white, set off by a brilliant buttercup yellow 
beard .. .50 
Snow King —42 in. AWARD OF MERIT AMERICAN IRIS SOCIETY. 
A superb new white Iris of huge size and a beauty of form 
and poise that makes it stand out as one of our finest new Irises. 
Tall Bearded Iris (Continued) 
Seedling No. 1 —This variety is in the same colors of Sir Launcelot, 
described on preceding page, and almost identical with it. It is 
perhaps just as good, but too close to be introduced. An Iris may 
be extremely handsome, but too close to something already in 
existence to name it and introduce it. This is the case with 
seedling No. 1. For those who wish this unusual new color, but 
cannot afford to pay the price of Sir Launcelot, I recommend 
Seedling No. 1, which for the reasons mentioned I offer at a 
very attractive price for such a fine Iris.50 
Sir Michael— 48 in. ONE OF THE WORLD’S FINEST IRISES, of in¬ 
describable beauty. S—clear heliotrope; F—rich red-purple, suf¬ 
fused coppery-brown, but no description can do it justice and all 
attempts of artists to reproduce it in color plates have met with 
failure, as no color plate of it produced to date even remotely 
discloses its great beauty. IT MUST BE SEEN. SOLD A FE\V 
YEARS AGO FOR $50.00 FOR A SINGLE PLANT, but an extra 
fine stock enables me to make a low price this season for large 
strong rhizomes .20 
Sir Michael Jr. —20 in. Similar to Sir Michael in color, form, 
and heavy substance, but flowers about two weeks earlier, 
belonging to the “Intermediate” class. Extra fine for 
planting in front of taller growing varieties. .20 
Sitka —48 in. EARLY. VERY FRAGRANT. In making a 
very critical inspection of all white Irises. I have been 
compelled to class Sitka with Gudrun for first honors 
among the moderate priced varieties. The flowers of 
Sitka are almost as large as Gudrun, of purer white, on 
taller st.alks and with better placement. The flowers are 
of the same fine form as Gudrun, of heavy substance, 
with straight hanging falls that produce a marvelous gar¬ 
den effect. Add to all of its other good qualities an 
exquisite fragrance and it leaves nothing to be desired 
in a perfect white Iris. And all this on four foot flower¬ 
ing stalks. It is one of the most underpriced Irises in m'' 
catalogue this season.50 
Mary Gibson (See page 14) 
Shining Waters (See page 20) 
The falls are flaring and the flower is of a superb wax-like sub¬ 
stance, freely produced on well branching stalks. 7.00 
Snow Plume —36 in. A new pure snow white Iris of huge size, 
perfect form, heavy substance and smooth finish, with nicely 
ruffled standards and flaring falls.10.00 
Solferino —56 in. EARLY. A bright pink on the order of Aphrodite, 
but brighter and with larger flowers on taller stalks, the flower 
stalks towering almost five feet high and loaded with blossoms. 
Can you imagine anything more striking. 20 
Souv. de F. Denis —Dedicated by the originator Cayeux, in memory 
of Mr. F. Denis, great Iris enthusiast and creator of many fine 
new varieties. A very deep rich violet, or near black and said 
to be the darkest Iris to date....... 10.00 
Souv. de Loetitia Michaud —40 in. This is a very large and very 
lovely soft blue of perfect form and striking appearance and ex¬ 
ceedingly free flowering. .20 
Spokane —36 in. HONORABLE MENTION AMERICAN IRIS SO¬ 
CIETY. Huge flowers and the most brilliant of the red-brown 
blends. S—pure fawn brown; F—bordeaux red, straight hanging, 
which gives the most impressive garden effect. 2.00 
Spring Maid —46 in. HONORABLE MENTION AMERICAN IRIS 
SOCIETY. A beautiful apple-blossom-pink, with a delightful 
yellow flush at the centre. This is one of the most attractive 
of recent introductions..20 
Starlight —24 in. VERY EARLY. A distinct shade of greenish 
sulphur yellow, the color being uniform throughout. A good 
early flowering variety for planting in front of the taller 
ones . 20 
Sumac —39 in. FRAGRANT. A handsome rich red-purple of Do¬ 
minion parentage and of recent introduction. Especially hand¬ 
some and brilliant as a garden clump.15 
Summer Cloud —36 in. The name of this variety is very appropriate. 
The standards first appear as light blue, soon changing to grey- 
blue-white, like a cloud in the summer sky. The falls are blue 
as the sky itself on a bright summer day. The color combination 
is wonderfully pleasing. The flowers are large, of perfect form 
and abundantly produced. 25
