Iris Price List, issued about April while Iris are in flower. Sent only to 
those customers who request it. We have a few 1939 Lists still available. Iris 
may be planted at any time of year but those planted now are unlikely to bloom 
this year, except the fall blooming types like Golden Cataract, and Everbloom- 
ing Plicata. 
The best time to plant is soon after flowering time, about May and June. 
Except for the following Specials we prefer not to disturb our Iris until that 
time. The best way to select a list is to see the flowers. 
Culture. Plant the rhizome only 1" deep. Water only slightly until they 
start. Too deep planting or excessive water before they start, or manure in soil 
often causes rotting. Positively use no manure in soil. Best soil is on heavy side 
but they do well in sandy soil. They prefer neutral to slightly alkaline soils, 
therefore use no peat or leaf mould. They like ground shell, limestone or wood 
ashes in moderation. Let Iris rest in late summer, bake dry, for best spring 
flowering. 
Plicatas have a light ground color with deeper colors in a feathering or 
stippling. 
Cecil Houdyshel. Tall lavender plicata. 25c ea. $2.00 per doz. 
Bobby Houdyshel. Dwarf phlox pink plicata. 10c ea. $1.00 per doz. 
Eleanor Brooks. Like Bobby Houdyshel but taller, and has more yellow 
in throat and a deeper tone of phlox pink. 25c. 
Fall Bloomers. Breeders have developed varieties that bloom in the fall 
in addition to the spring. The best begin flowering in spring with the earliest 
and continue to late spring. Usually give a few flowers in summer if not too 
hot but not always. Again in the fall they bloom profusely. Usually a lot of 
winter flowers here. Now (in December) we have many flowers on the two 
varieties following. 
Everblooming Plicata. Standards flushed with Saccardo’s violet. Falls 
white, bordered and veined in throat with violet. Rather small compared with 
huge new types and not reaching their perfection in form but very pretty and 
produces probably five times as many flowers. $1.50 each. Per doz. $12.
