blues. The buff-yellow S. have a faint haze of blue-lavender; the

SIR KNIGHT (Ash.) EM. 40". This huge dark violet-blue self com¬

ever, is of different form and appearance. H.M. 50c 
SIR LANCELOT (Sass) ML. 32". Gleaming chestnut red, with very 
bright golden brown S. A flower of large size, and probably 
the most brilliant iris yet turned out by the famous hybridizer. 
Like many of our most valuable sorts its real worth is not appar¬ 
ent until it is seen as a generous clump in a massed planting 
where it stands out like a beacon among the many cool or 
deep-toned varieties. 50c 
*SIR MICHAEL (Yeld) M. 38". This one is probably the oldest va¬ 
riety which we offer, yet it still commands a front-rank place in 
its color class. S. are sky blue and F. are velvety plum-purple,

great size and with an odd coppery suffusion throughout. 
H.M. 50c 
ST. LOUIS (Weisner) M. 40". Glossy velvety purple, with harmoni¬ 
ous beard and mellow haft. Large self-colored oval blossoms. SOc

one is very different in color from any other. 50c 
TARANTEXLA (Sass) ML. 36". The best tall pink-edged plicata, with 
fine large ruffled flowers. If you are looking for a DIFFERENT 
plicata as well as a most attractive one, then this is it. 50c 
TENAYA (Elssig) M. 38". Rich velvety dark purple. H. M. 
THE BLACK DOUGLAS (Sass) ML. 36". Finest deep pansy violet 
self, so rich and dark as to be almost black. A note of distinction 
is added by the black sheen on the velvety F. H.M. 25c 
THEODOLINDA (Ayres) M. 42". Large white plicata, with stitching 
of blue around edge of petals. Unlike San Francisco which it 
resembles, Theodolinda is quite hardy and grows everywhere 
with ease. Because of its beauty, its size, its hardiness, and its 
low price, we recommend this variety over all other plicatas. 25c 
*THE RED BRICK (Nat'l.) ML. 30". Just the color of a red brick. Six 
good-sized blossoms to a short well-branched stalk. S. domed

glistening white background with attractive blue markings. 
H.M. 75c 
' WINE GLORY (Nat'l.) EML. 36". 'The color of this flower is difficult 
to describe inasmuch as it is neither a brilliant red, a purple, or 
even a red-purple blend. It is a combination of red, purple, 
violet, and some other shades which produce the same effect as 
when a glass of red wine is held between the eye and the light. 
An established clump bears more bloom stalks than any other 
variety we ever have grown; it is the second year before this 
variety makes a good showing. It starts blooming among the 
very earliest and finishes among the very latest. 50c 
WINIFRED (Storer) M. 36". Unique small flower because it has 
texture like dull sheen of rare china. A real Wisteria self. $1.00 
WINNESHIEK (Egel.) M. 40". One of the very best in the dark ciass, 
with deep blue S. and ruffled blackish blue-purple F. A touch of 
ruffling augments its graceful form. 'The lighter margin on F. is 
a feature which lends a distinctive, pleasing touch. 25c 
" WINTER MOON ('Thole) L. 42". Large cream white flushed gold, 
with broad gold beard. The whole blossom suggests tones of 
antique marble, and is quite different from any other white we 
offer. Stalks are well-branched and F. are semi-flaring. $1.00 
■'WONDERCHILD (Nat'l.) ML. 37". 'The huge flowers of deepest 
midnight blue are placed close together and make each stalk o 
gigantic bouquet. 'The color is similar to that of Meldoric, as 
shown in picture on back cover, but the plants are much more 
vigorous and multiply more rapidly. 'This is one of the best dark 
sorts now available. $1.00 
WOTAN (Grinter) L. 30". 'The darkest, richest, and largest of all the 
very deep blends—in appearance a velvety purple-brown. 
Height is its only limitation, and there is always a place for 
such a short-stalked gem in the foreground of any planting. 50c 
*ZUNI (Ayres) E. 40". It is fitting that the last tall bearded variety 
we list should be one of the best. 'This one has every good 
quality. S. ore of golden tan and F. ore of red brown, overlaid 
with copper. Entire blossom appears as though it were sprinkled 
with gold dust. See colored reproduction on page 11. 50c
