The World’s Finest Tall Bearded Iris (Continued) 
War Eagle—40 in. HONORABLE MENTION AMERICAN IRIS SO¬ 
CIETY. S—Daphne-pink; F—Brilliant dahlia-carmine, with a lus¬ 
trous sheen; bronzy-orange beard. Immense flowers of perfect 
form and a very profuse bloomer, the flowers literally hiding the 
plant. In effect a rich glowing deep red. Sold just two years 
ago at $7.50. Now offered for the first time at a moderate 
price .75 
Wasatch—40 in. HONORABLE MENTION AMERICAN IRIS SO¬ 
CIETY, 1936. WITHOUT A DOUBT THE LARGEST AND FINEST 
"PLICATA" INTRODUCED TO DATE. Larger than San Francisco 
and of entirely different form, having straight hanging fails, 
producing a superb garden effect. The flowers are beautifully 
marked, being a pure glistening white, evenly etched around the 
border with a blue "feather-stitching”. WASATCH IS THE 
NUMBER ONE “PLICATA". 2.00 
White and Cold—36 in. A pure gleaming satiny white, with a 
brilliant golden beard which adds to its attractiveness. A flower 
of perfect form and finish, a very profuse bloomer and I believe 
the most satisfactory white of all for landscape effect, or for 
mass effect in the garden, as it is exceptionally rugged and ro¬ 
bust and no variety produces a greater quantity of bloom. I 
recommend it above all others for landscape work.15 
Winneshiek—36 in. I LIKE THIS BEST OF ALL THE NEW BLACK 
IRISES, the actual color being the deepest midnight-blue-violet. 
It is certainly one of the best of this type, if not the best. The 
flower is large, of lustrous silky texture, of perfect form and 
freely produced. You will not be disappointed with Winne¬ 
shiek .-..35* 
Wonder Child—37 in. Very large, deep, dark pansy-purple flowers 
of perfect form are produced in the greatest profusion by this 
variety. It is different from other dark varieties and a real 
beauty . 1.00 
W. R. Dykes—40 in. EARLY. FAMOUS YELLOW. MUCH USED 
FOR BREEDING AND THE PARENT OF MOST OF OUR NEW 
GIANT YELLOWS. MY ORIGINAL PLANTS OF THIS VARIETY 
COST ME MORE THAN $125.00 EACH TO IMPORT THEM. This 
is a huge flower, in the giant class, with frilled standards and 
somewhat crinkled falls, giving it a most artistic effect. The 
color is medium yellow.50 
Yellow Pearl—40 in. LEMON FRAGRANCE. A very delightful soft 
lemon-yellow, with soft green-gold veining at the throat. Very 
desirable for garden mass, notwithstanding other fine new yel¬ 
lows, as it is different from any. An improvement on the 
Shekinah type .20 
Zaharoon—42 in. EARLY. AWARDED A SILVER MEDAL BY THE 
IRIS SOCIETY OF ENGLAND. ALSO ONE OF THE GROUP 
WHICH WON THE RUNCIMAN CHALLENGE CUP. An inde¬ 
scribably beautiful blending of subtle, soft pastel tints, buff, 
fawn and soft violet. IT MUST BE SEEN. YOU SIMi'LY CAN¬ 
NOT DESCRIBE IT. SOLD IN 1931 FOR $100.00 FOR A SINGLE 
PLANT .25 
Zuni—40 in. VERY EARLY. HUGE FLOWERS OF A RICH GLOW¬ 
ING RED-BROWN, SUFFUSED COPPER. The falls are a brilliant 
red when seen with the sun shining through them; the standards 
seem to be dusted with gold dust. The huge flowers are of the 
most perfect form, of very heavy substance and a rich velvety 
texture and nicely placed on tall branching stems. It has every 
good quality ..1 5 
Autumn Flowering Iris 
FLOWERING TWO OR MORE TIMES EACH SEASON 
O NE of the greatest achievements of the Hybridizer's skill and per- 
severence is this new race of DOUBLE DUTY IRISES, which not only 
blossom in the spring, along with the other early flowering varieties 
(early May in the latitude of Long Island and a month earlier in the 
South), BUT THEY FLOWER AGAIN PROFUSELY IN THE AUTUMN, 
BEGINNING IN SEPTEMBER AND CONTINUING UNTIL KILLED BY 
HEAVY FROST. SOME OF THEM ALSO FLOWER INTERMITTENTLY 
THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER, GIVING SEVERAL PERIODS OF BLOOM. 
No Iris garden is complete without this new race of Irises. They are all 
hardy and can be planted any time and require little care. Planting and 
cultural directions accompany all shipments. 
Autumn Dawn— 28 in. EXQUISITELY FRAGRANT. AN EVERBLOOMER 
IN CALIFORNIA, WHERE IT ORIGINATED, and in other moderate cli¬ 
mates. A delightfully ruffled soft pink and soft yellow blend. A new 
color break in this group.35 
Autumn Elf— 1 8 in. Another new and dainty color in the Au¬ 
tumn Flowering varieties, with ruffled standards of cream and 
with flaring falls of soft lilac, with deeper veins at throat .50 
Autumn Frost —^36 in. VERY SWEET FRAGRANCE. The tallest 
of the Autumn Flowering varieties. Very large, beautifully 
poised flowers of perfect form, waxlike substance and alabaster 
whiteness . 1.50 
Autumn Gleam —24 in. A new soft citron yellow.25 
Autumn Haze —30 in. NEW VIOLET FRAGRANCE. This is 
by far the largest and most outstanding of all the Autumn 
Flowering varieties, comparing in size with the giant Nene. 
The standards are light lavender-violet and the falls are hyssop- 
violet, shading to manganese violet at the centre. Superb in 
every way . 1.00 
Autumn King— 30 in. This is the original Autumn-flowering 
variety, from which most of the others originated. It is a fine 
blue-purple bi-color .10
