Beautiful mauve double, with a few hairline veins 
of deep purple; Styles deep red-purple, with mauve 
crests. Flowers slightly ruffled and perfectly formed. 
Handsome and unusual color tone. Very rare. $5.00.

each; 3 for $3.00. 
HELENE —36 in. Double. See color illustration,

even marking, in huge flowers, several times the size 
of the illustration. $5.00. 
HINODE-SAKURA —(Meaning "Cherry Blossoms at 
Sunrise") Double. 42 in. The Japanese names 
are often most appropriate, as in this case. This is 
one of the most lovely of all Japanese Irises, as the 
illustration on the front cover will show. It was 
most difficult for the artist, the engraver and the 
printer to catch the fascinating beauty of this Iris 
and of course it is several times larger than the il¬ 
lustration. $2.50 each; 3 for $6.00.

of fortune, is beloved by all Japanese children as the 
God who brings them gifts, the Santa Claus of the 
Japanese children. Iris Warei-Hotei is one of the 
most perfectly formed and one of the finest of all
