I Do Not Meet the Prices of Other Growers 
I Make the Price for Them to Meet if They Can 
Those who quote higher prices than mine in their catalogue 
and then agree to meet lower quotations (with many reserva¬ 
tions) to those who are fortunate enough to know what others 
are quoting, while at the same time charging higher prices to 
those who are not posted, should not be encouraged in such 
practice.

The varieties that are enclosed in a black border are 
all winners of the Dykes Memorial Medal. This medal 
can be awarded to ONLY ONE IRIS EACH YEAR in 
America. The care with which it is awarded gives assur¬ 
ance that the winner of this medal is the outstanding 
Iris of the year. The American Iris Society has a jury of 
Iris connoisseurs, located all over the United States, to 
judge, evaluate, rate and criticize each new arrival. 
This jury of accredited judges consists of about 150 
members. Any Iris that runs the gauntlet of this group 
of judges and is awarded the Dykes Medal is in a class 
which leaves no room for argument as to its superior 
quality. A similar Award is made annually in England 
and France with equal care, the Dykes Medal being an 
Award of the Iris Society of England.

Al-lu-we—40 in. A magnificent new Iris, with delightfully ruffled stand¬ 
ards which look like pure molten metallic bronze, and with brilliant 
red-toned falls, shading to a bronze border to match the standards. .20 
Alta California—48 in. The tallest and one of the largest and finest new 
yellow Irises, making a magnificent effect-in mass. Exceptionally free

tration .25

Ambera—36 in. VERY EARLY. EXQUISITELY FRAGRANT. The 
Finest and by far the largest of the early flowering yellow Irises. 
A superb bright canary yellow, of uniform color throughout. While

prodigious bloomer. A superb form and poise make it unexcelled as a 
cut flower.20 
Ammon—46 in. VERY EARLY. The earliest tall blue, which flowers 
two weeks earlier than other tall blue Irises. The flowers are large, of 
perfect form and a lovely sky-blue color. This variety, with Titus,

lovely very early flowering group.20 
Andante—36 in. One of the most handsome of the rich red-purple varieties. 
I would like to be able to put the color on paper, but do not believe it 
would be possible. It is like a piece of rich plush. You will like it. .. .15
