Mary Gibson—42 in. EARLY. A handsome soft rosy-bronze blend, with 
a yellow throat and rich golden beard. Always a great favorite. Sold a 
few years ago at .140.00 for a single plant. See color illustration on Page 
20.20 
Mary Senni—42 in. EARLY. VERY FRAGRANT. HUGE FLOWERS 
WHICH CLASS WITH THE GIANT NENE, EL CAPITAN, GUD- 
RUN, MARQUITA and others in the giant class. The flowers are a 
most delightful coloring and beautifully placed on strong stems. Sold 
when first introduced at $25.00 for a single plant. Since I originally 
imported this variety from France, I have had a growing fondness for it 
each time I see it in bloom, for it is a magnificent flower, without a fault. 
S—soft lilac, flushed very soft reddish-brown; F—deep violet, with 
marginal tips the color of the standards. A large stock of extra fine strong 
rhizomes now permits an exceptionally low price for such a choice 
variety.20 
FROM WISCONSIN 
“The shipment of Irises which I received from you were very 
nice Rhizomes. Some of them were the largest I have seen, and I 
have seen plenty of them. Even though the weather was hot they 
arrived in excellent condition.” 
Madeleine Brun- 36 in. EARLY. This is one of the finest white Irises 
we have, but it is comparatively unknown in this country. It is a French 
introduction and is a very lovely cool white of the greatest purity, large 
size, of heavy wax-like substance and satiny smoothness. An outstanding 
white that is entirely different from all others and is one of the best. .15 
Magenta—36 in. FRAGRANT. A distinctive bright magenta color that 
always stands out among other Iris in any planting. See color illustration

Magnifica—42 in. VERY FRAGRANT. 
THIS CRIMSON-TONED BI-COLOR IS 
ONE OF THE FINEST OF THE MOD¬ 
ERATE PRICED IRIS AND ONE OF 
THE BIGGEST BARGAINS IN MY 
CATALOGUE. In richness of color, gigantic 
size, majestic bearing, delicious fragrance, 
heavy substance and perfection of form, this 
variety leaves little to be desired. It is a 
constant Prize Winner in the Iris Shows.

Maisie Lowe—36 in. AWARDED A SILVER 
MEDAL BY THE IRIS SOCIETY OF 
ENGLAND. It is an amazingly beautiful 
blue bi-color, with standards of soft sky-blue, 
and with rich velvety falls of royal blue, 
bordered the color of the standards. The 
flowers are of fine form and exceptional sub¬ 
stance and produced in great quantities, 
creating a gorgeous garden picture.20 
M. A. Porter—36 in. EARLY. THIS IS A 
FIVE STAR VARIETY IF THERE EVER 
WAS ONE. It is an exceedingly deep rich 
violet, with velvety flaring falls and deep 
orange beard. It is one of the best of the new 
Giant Flowered varieties.20 
Marie Poole—38 in. EARLY. THIS FRENCH 
CREATION IS ONE OF THE MOST 
LOVELY PURE WHITE IRIS IN EX¬ 
ISTENCE, but seems to be entirely un¬ 
known in this country. It is a profuse bloomer 
and robust grower and no white Iris makes 
a finer display in the garden. The texture is 
like delicate porcelain.20 
Marquita—40 in. GIVEN AN AWARD OF 
MERIT BY THE AMERICAN IRIS 
SOCIETY IN 1936. If I were to select a 
dozen outstanding Iris from the thousands 
of varieties that have been introduced to 
date, Marquita would be one of the dozen. 
It is so unusual and so beautiful that it is 
always wanted by any one who sees it in 
bloom, but this is the first time it has been 
offered at a moderate price. It is a magnifi¬ 
cent French creation, that has given us 
something entirely new in Iris, for it is in a 
class all by itself. The huge flowers are of 
brilliant smooth ivory, with an eggshell 
finish, with brilliant ruby lines running al¬ 
most evenly from base to apex of falls. As 
the flower ages the centre of the flower turns 
solid red, leaving a cream colored border.

Mary Barnett—42 in. A GLORIFIED 
PRINCESS BEATRICE OR PALLIDA 
DELMATICA TYPE, with the most lovely 
sky-blue flowers of large size, perfect form, 
and heavy substance. Best of this type. .15 
Mary Elizabeth—36 in. A large well formed 
flower of most attractive colorings, the colors 
blending to give a rich rosy effect, with 
deeper velvety falls. I doubt if any Iris makes 
a more handsome garden mass.15 
Mary Geddes—36 in. WINNER OF 
THE DYKES MEMORIAL ME¬ 
DAL IN 1936, HIGHEST INTER¬ 
NATIONAL HONORS, AS THE 
BEST IRIS OF THE YEAR. Also 
had the distinction of being an Ameri¬ 
can introduction that received AN 
AWARD OF MERIT in England, 
where so many fine Irises are pro¬ 
duced. The color is hard to describe, 
but it is one of our finest introduc¬ 
tions. The color illustration on Page 
18 gives but a faint idea of its great 
beauty. There are eight to 10 flow¬ 
ers to a stem and it is nicely 
branched.25
