beautifully colored iris ever seen. They are 
not excelled by any other type of iris. 
I am at present interested in hybridizing 
various beardless types of iris native to 
Louisiana. For grace of form and richness 
of color these are unsurpassed. They have 
a great future, and when better known will 
be even more popular than our best German 
iris. Beautiful when cut.

IRIS NOTE 
During the past twelve years I have 
grown and tested over twelve thousand 
iris hybrids. Tests have also been made 
of the finest iris varieties from all over 
the world. From the many thousands of 
hybrid iris tested, I have selected twenty 
new varieties that have proven them¬ 
selves superior in their respective color 
classes. Most notable advances have 
been made in the bronze, copper and 
peach colored types such as Irene, Copper 
King, Monte Cristo, Copper Sheen and 
Sunset Glow. Our outstanding creations 
in blues are Lillian Rowell, Royal Blue 
and Carolyn Cory. In plicatas the new 
Mrs. K. S. Battelle and Mrs. G. Smith 
are particularly outstanding. Each pro¬ 
ducing mammoth flowers. A new type 
being a cross of iris Susiana and El 
Capitan is unusually beautiful. “Laven¬ 
der and Old Lace”.
