ingly rich blackish prune-purple. One of the darkest of all Iris, 
with a satiny lustre that makes it superb. SOLD FOR $25.00

AND ONE OF THE VERY FINEST OF ALL IRIS, Huge flowers of 
perfect form and poise, heavy substance and delightful coloring. 
One of the largest, richest and best of the red-toned bi-colors,

Treasure Island—40 in. A gigantic new bright rich clear yellow, 
with a deep orange beard, introduced during 1937. Not a trace 
of any other color shows in this new introduction, which is of 
extreme vigour and hardiness. 6.00 
True Delight—36 in. A superb white “Plicata” with a “feather¬ 
stitch” border of bright pink. Beautiful as an individual flower 
for cut flower purposes and makes a magnificent mass effect. 
It is very free flowering, hardy, rugged, of fine form and good 
substance. The beautiful uniform “featherstitch” pattern is 
most effective. The flower of course is much larger than the 
illustration on page 18, and much more handsome, this illustra¬ 
tion being about half size. .20 
Tuscany Cold—36 in. I have reserved my stock of this variety for 
propagation for several years, as it is one of the most handsome 
Irises I have ever seen and I am glad to now have enough of it 
to offer it for general distribution at an attractive price. The 
color is old-gold and it would seem to be poured from molten 
metal. The stock of it is still limited, so place your order for 
it early to avoid disappointment. .25

WE HAVE, AS WELL AS ONE OF THE DARKEST. A superb new

Valor—50 in. VERY FRAGRANT, GIVEN AN AWARD OF MERIT 
BY THE AMERICAN IRIS SOCIETY IN 1936. The largest richest 
and finest of its type, the general color effect being a deep rich 
blackish blue-violet bi-color, but with marked changes in dif¬ 
ferent lights, the color in the bright sunlight being brilliant 
crimson .. . .. .20 
Venus de Milo—44 in. FRAGRANT. THIS VARIETY WAS THE 
SECOND CHOICE OF THE JUDGES IN DECIDING UPON THE 
VARIETY THAT WAS TO RECEIVE THE DYKES MEMORIAL 
MEDAL IN 1936. It is a gigantic pure snow white, a perfect 
flower in every way and considered by many as the best white. 
IT SOLD FOR $20.00 FOR A SINGLE PLANT IN 1932, but a 
large stock of fine rhizomes makes a very low price possible this 
season ..25 
Vert Gallant— 50 in. WINNER OF THE DYKES MEMORIAL 
MEDAL, HIGHEST INTERNATIONAL HONORS. It is the most 
prodigious bloomer of any Iris I have ever seen, producing 
4 to 5 flowering stalks to a single rhizome, and as a garden 
mass or individual flower if is unexcelled. S—soft rose; F— 
Dahlia-carmine, with a one-eighth inch border of soft rose 
to match the standards, but this is a very inadequate de¬ 
scription of this very beautiful flower. .30 
Vestal Flame —45 in. A DELICIOUS LOCUST FRAGRANCE. A new 
glistening cream, with a bright yellow beard and yellow halo at 
the centre, which gives the impression of a light coming from 
within, hence the name. A delightful effect. . 25 
Violet Crown —40 in. This Iris is so named because it is said to 
remind one of the violet haze that hangs over the hills sur¬ 
rounding the city of Athens, known as “The City of the Violet 
Crown”. The color is the most exquisite, shimmering soft violet 
and the flower is of large size, perfect form and heavy substance. 
“Delightful” is what you will say when you see it in bloom. 30 
Vishnu —32 in. RICH SPICY FRAGRANCE. YOU WOULD NEVER 
PASS UP THIS VARIETY IF YOU SAW IT IN BLOOM, as it is a 
most unusual and beautiful Iris, in a blending of pastel colors 
not found in any other variety. It is a light pinkish-cinnamon 
blend, with maroon veins on both sides of the beard, which is of 
deep orange. I am afraid this conveys but a very faint idea of 
the great beauty of this variety, but you can safely buy it upon 
my assurance that it is a real beauty.20 
Voltigeur— 48 in. EXCEEDINGLY FRAGRANT. GIVEN AN AWARD 
OF MERIT BY THE NATIONAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY OF 
FRANCE. A REAL “FIVE STAR” IRIS WHICH SOLD JUST TWO

veined throat. Very large flowers of perfect form, heavy sub¬ 
stance and brilliant coloring... 1.50
