21 IRIS HEXAGONA—bmty(3)20. Enormous flowers, very 
orchid-like, of an attractive lavender-shaded violet. 6 seeds

21 IRIS HOOKERIANA—by(2)7. A pretty little Iris from 
Kashmir and western Tibet. Curiously mottled flowers, 
veined and marbled with dark purple on a pale ground. 
6 seeds for 25c. 
21 IRIS HYACINTHINA—erbdkt(2)20. Butterfly flowers of 
delicious diaphanous blue. They have been called “sap¬ 
phire Daffodils’. Pkt. 15c ; % oz. 35c. 
21 IRIS INNOMINATA—rkt(2)10. A rare, and very lovely 
hardy species, undulate blossoms, usually of soft golden apri¬ 
cot, a sunset shade, but varying at times to the clear lilac- 
lavender of a Cattleya Orchid. Often blooms second year 
from seed. 7 seeds for 25c. 
21 IRIS KAEMPFERI IMPERIAL—ecbmkt(2) 36. A superb 
strain of the giant-flowered Japanese Irises. Gorgeous 
spreads of color here; white, gold banded and threaded, 
blue, azure, turquoise, royal purples, and crimsons, in self 
hues, or netted and splashed. Many will be double. Pkt. 
15c: % oz. 35c; % oz. 60c. (Plants, splendid mixture, 3 
for 60c ; 10 for $1.80. Or we will send six plants, all ex¬ 
cellent varieties, each one different, for $1.40.) 
21 IRIS KAEMPFERI TYPICA^—Flowers of a uniform deep, 
rich purple-blue, with yellow center line. A trifle later in 
flowering than the Imperial, and a bit smaller. This is 
Iris Kaempferi as it grows wild in Japan, for all practical 
purposes, so far as effect goes, a separate and distinct Iris 
from the cultivated Kaempferi, and just as much worth 
growing. You need both. Pkt. 10c; % oz. 30c. (Plants, 
each 25c; 3 for 65c; 10 for $1.90). 
21 IRIS LAEVIGATA—ecbmkt(2)36. Blossom-falls long and 
drooping, richest blue-purple, standards deep violet; but 
sometimes pure blue, or white edged blue. Very large 
flowers. A fine species. Pkt. 15c; % oz. 35c. (Plants, 
each 50c.) 
22 IRIS MELANOSTICTA—rdy(2)10. Transjordana. Flow¬ 
ers black-spotted, over a green yellow. 3 seeds for 25c. 
21 IRIS MELLITA—erkt(l-2) (6)8. The name means “de¬ 
light”, but II Penseroso might be more fitting. Farrar calls 
it subtle and sad, but says no rock garden should be without 
it. Very early, very dwarf; big blossoms of violet, rich 
with mahogany suffusion. Again it may be creamy, stains 
of chocolate and tintings of mulberry. Blossoms all through 
April and May, and usually again in October. From the 
Balkans. Pkt. 15c; % oz. 35c. (Plants, each 30c; 3 for 
80c: 10 for $2.35). 
21 IRIS MILESI—bmy(2)36. Close to Iris Tectorum, but 
easier and more vigorous. High-held undulate blossoms that 
show attractive marblings of dark blue violet over rosy 
lavender. Pkt. 15c. (Plants, each 30c; 3 for 80c.) 
21 IRIS MONNIERI—cby(2)50. All who see it, praise it. 
Splendid large flowers of soft lemon yellow, rarely with 
a white margin. Very like, save in dominant coloring, to 
Iris ochroleuca gigantea. Pkt. 15c. (Plants, giant-flowered 
in the desired soft yellow, each 40c; 3 for $1.10.) 
21 IRIS MONGOLICA—cby(3)40. The blossoms are formed 
along the orchid-lines of those of the Dutch and Spanish 
Xiphium Irises ; colorings in the softer range, silvery, tawny, 
or buff grounds, with suffusions of mauve and lavender. Pkt. 
10c; % oz. 25c. (Plants, each 25c; 3 for 65c; 10 for $1.80.) 
22 IRIS NIGRICANS—cby (2) 18. Splendid Palestine Iris, 
the flowers in effect of rich brown, a “coffee with cream” 
tone. 4 seeds for 20c. 
21 IRIS OCHROLEUCA GIGANTEA—cby(2)60. The Great 
Gold-banded Iris, a spectacular beauty. Flowers snowy to 
ivory, with big golden splash on each fall, and always of 
largest size. At times seedlings will be altogether yellow, 
lemon to golden. This species will make a magnificent 
showing. Pkt. 15c; Vs oz. 35c; % oz. 60c. (Plants, each 
35c ; 3 for $1.00 ; 10 for $2.90.) 
22 IRIS PALESTINE BLEND—The varied Palestine Irises 
in mixture, oncocyclus in their odd and sombrely attractive 
color range. 6 seeds for 25c. 
22 IRIS PALLIDA DALMATICA—Very large flowers of 
clear cool lavender, a most delightful tone. The blossoms 
are fragrant; carried on yard-high stems. This is the 
variety Astarte, perhaps the finest seedling of Pallida Dal- 
matica yet offered. Plants only, each 25c; 3 for 70c; 10 
for $2.00. I 
21 IRIS PRISMATICA—rbcmy(2)24. A dainty iris with 
flowers of pure violet, the curled falls white with violet 
veinings. Pkt. 15c; % oz. 40c. (Plants each 25c; 3 for 
65c ; 10 for $1.75.) 
21 IRIS PSEUDACORUS MANDSCHURICA—ecbnmkt(2)35. 
This is a particularly large and vigorous strain of the 
species. Richest burnished yellow, often brown-veined. 
Thrives in ordinary border, but may also be used for nat¬ 
uralizing along streams, or about pool margins. Pkt. 10c; 
Ys oz. 25c; V 4 . oz. 40c; 1 oz. $1.25. (Plants, each 25c; 3 for 
65c; 10 for $1.90). 
21 IRIS PSEUDACORUS CREAM PRIMROSE—Lovely flow¬ 
ers of soft cream. A delightful form that seems to come 
true from seed. Pkt. 15c. (Plants, each 25c; 3 for 70c.) 
21 IRIS PSEUDO-PUMILA—erkt(l)6. True species, de¬ 
light of April. Save certain bulbous types, it’s the first 
Iris to bloom at Old Orchard each spring. Many rare col¬ 
orings, the most charming, perhaps, being a translucent 
pale cream, with olive stains. Then there are soft olive- 
marked yellows, mauve-lilacs, lavender suffusions. Pkt. 20c. 
21 IRIS RUTHENICA—erkt(l-2)10. A dainty dwarf Iris 
of the steppes, from Rumania to the Altai. Blossoms with 
horizontal falls, white, with deep purple veinings ; standards 
dark blue. Foliage fountains. Pkt. 15c. 
21 IRIS SETOSA—rby(2)25. The Alaska Iris. Showy flat¬ 
tened blossoms, large falls but standards reduced to awl¬ 
like points. Bright blue. Pkt. 15c. (Plants, each 25c: 
3 for 70c.) 
21 IRIS SIBIRIENT HYBRIDS—ecbkt( 1-2) 45. Extraordi¬ 
narily varied in range of colorings and markings is this 
group of dependable and highly decorative Irises. They are, 
moreover, of easiest culture, and greatly hardy. Range 
includes white, pale azure suffusions, light and dark blue, 
indigo, violet, exquisite amethyst, with tawny shadings and 
odd veinings. The Sibirient group is based on various 
crossings and re-crossings in which Irises sibrica and orien- 
talis have, perhaps, been chiefly involved, but heritage traces 
of Irises Delavayi, koreana, Wilsoni, Forresti, Clarkei, and 
Bulleyana at times appear. They grow quite surely and 
readily from seeds sown outside in late autumn or in earliest 
spring. We recommend to the full the wonderful Sibirient 
Irises. We are sure you will be pleased with them. Pkt. 
10c; % oz. 30c; 1 oz. $1.00; % lb. $3.50. (Plants, mixed 
only, but we shall make it a point to see that an assort¬ 
ment of the best color forms is included in each lot, 3 for 
EOc; 10 for $1.50 ; 25 for $3.50.) 
21 IRIS SNOW QUEEN--€cbkt(2)35. Perhaps the best of 
white Irises for mass plantings, good, indeed, anywhere. 
Pure white flowers with yellow throat-blotch are caiTied 
in rich and long profusion. Rather easy from seed. Pkt. 
10c; % oz. 30c; 1 oz. $1.00. (Plants, each 20c; 3 for 55c; 
10 for $1.60.) 
32 IRIS SINDJARENSIS—ryt(w)(l)9. Rather large flowers 
of clear pale blue, vanilla scented. Blooms very early. A 
I'are “Juno” from northern Irak. 2 seeds for 25c. 
22 IRIS SOFARANA—rbdy(2)18. Curious Iris, local on 
Lebanon. Rather like Susiana save that ground is cream 
instead of gray, and the netting violet, rather than black. 
Full sun. 2 seeds for 25c. 
21 IRIS SOGDIANA—by(2)20—A rare “spuria” on order 
of Mongolica, same color range but only half the height. 
Good. Pkt. 10c; (Plants, each 25c.) 
21 IRIS TECTORUM—crbmy(2) 18. The delightful Roof 
Iris of Japan. Loose sprays of large blue flowers, undulate, 
with white crests. Pkt. 20c. (Plants, each 35c; 3 for 
$1.00; 10 for $2.90.) 
21 IRIS TECTORUM WHITE—Big undulate flowers of ex¬ 
quisite diaphanous snowy whiteness, gold on blade. Plants 
only, each 45c ; 3 for $1.25. 
21 IRIS TENAX—erckt(2)15. About as pretty a thing as 
one might find in dwarf rock garden plants, is this charm¬ 
ing West-coast species. Exceedingly variable, from white, 
through mauve, to claret or purple-velvet, together with 
delightful, and rather close, pink approaches. Pkt. 15c; 
Ys oz. 35c. 
21 IRIS TRIPETALA—rcbyt(3)20. Immense flowers in or¬ 
chid-reminder, deep, rich and velvety violet, with lavender 
lights. Blooms late, beginning as the Japanese Irises are 
fading. You need it to carry on the Iris season, as well 
as for its own over-flowing charm. Plants only, each 40c; 
3 for $1.10. 
31 IRIS TUBEROSA—rby(l)16. Strangest of Irises, this. 
Flowers like some strange ornate serpent-head from a 
Maj^an carving ; the falls, black velvet; the ophidian stand¬ 
ards, lurid green of jade. If were-wolves, why not were- 
flowers, for of a surety there is an air of weird bewitchment 
about this one. Slow in germinating, but will come, give 
it time. Now classed as Hermodactylus. 10 seeds for 25c; 
50 seeds for $1.00.
