Kochinette—27 in. VERY EARLY. A rare form of the Italian wild Iris Kochii, from 
which it differs in having a much better form than the type, with full flaring falls and 
exceedingly rich purple color.15 
K. V. Ayres—44 in. THIS MAGNIFICENT IRIS SOLD FOR S50.00 A PLANT in 1933. 
It is a huge flower, one of the largest that grows, with flaring falls that measure up to 8F6 
inches across. It is an Iris of unusually beautiful soft pastel tints, impossible to accur¬ 
ately describe, just as it is impossible to describe a sunset in a few words. The nearest 
approach I can make to a color description is a soft lavender-gray, or gray with a soft 
pinkish-lavender suffusion. There is no other Iris like it and it is a real beauty.35 
Lady Paramount—44 in. HONORABLE MENTION AMERICAN IRIS SOCIETY. 
The sensational new soft primrose yellow, similar to W. R. Dykes, but on taller stems, 
better formed and a clearer color. The color illustration on Page 16, which is about half 
size, does not begin to do it justice, as there is a smoothness of finish and clarity of color 
that is not shown by the illustration. It is unquestionably the finest in its class. Now 
offered for the first time at a moderate price.50 
Lady Phyllis—36 in. FRAGRANT. A GLORIOUS NEW PURE SKY-BLUE IRIS 
OF UNIFORM COLOR THROUGHOUT and of a perfection of form not attained by 
many other Iris. The flowers are very large and delightfully scented.20 
Largo—40 in. ONE OF OUR LOVELIST SOFT PASTEL BLENDS. S—very smooth 
soft yellow; F—flushed pink at the centre, edged a softer yellow than the standards. 
Throat cream, veined gold; deep orange beard. The flower is beautifully ruffled. .. .15 
Legend—36 in. A SUPER IRIS OF HUGE SIZE, PERFECT FORM AND RICH 
DEEP COLORING. S—lilac, flushed lavender; F—rich deep velvety crimson-claret, 
like a piece of fine plush. One of the best.20 
Liberty Bell—30 in. AWARDED FIRST PRIZE AT THE BOSTON SHOW. I paid 
$50.00 each for my original stock of Liberty Bell. It is a giant “Plicata” on the 
order of San Francisco, but with a brighter red-toned “feather-stitch” edging over the 
snow-white background.20 
Lochinvar—38 in. VERY EARLY. ONE OF THE IRIS GIANTS, 
the brilliant blue flowers being of huge size and produced in the 
greatest profusion. The flowers are of good form, heavy sub¬ 
stance and perfect poise. And in addition to all its other good 
qualities it flowers about two weeks ahead of the regular Iris 
season.15 
Lodestar—36 in. THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST BRILLIANT 
IRIS IN MY ENTIRE COLLECTION, besides being of un¬ 
surpassed perfection of form. The standards are of deep, clear, 
smooth pure yellow and the falls are velvety claret-brown, with 
a narrow border of the same brilliant yellow color as the stand¬ 
ards. For a brilliant spot in the garden try Lodestar.15 
Lord Lambourne—40 in. VERY EARLY. VERY FRAGRANT. 
The richest colored very early tall flowering variety, the falls 
being of rich madder-crimson, with soft rose fawn standards and 
amber styles. Sold at $25.00 for a single plant a few years 
ago.15 
l.os Angeles—46 in. EARLY. Gigantic white flowers, with the 
standards faintly edged blue, and with blue styles, adding a clear 
note of blue to the centre. One of the most beautiful of the 
“Plicata” type. See illustration Page 14.20 
Lucero—42 in. SWEET LOCUST FRAGRANCE. An unusual icy- 
white or blue-white, being quite unlike other white Irises. The 
domed standards are gracefully frilled and the falls are semi- 
flaring, giving excellent garden effect. There is a soft yellow halo 
at the throat, which adds to the beauty of this unusual white 
Iris.20
