IRIS AND ONE OF THE FINEST INTRODUCED TO DATE. The huge 
flowers sometimes measure 9 inches long, with petals of heavy kid-like sub¬

OF THIS VARIETY A FEW YEARS AGO I PAID *50.00 A PLANT FOR 
IT. Now I have a fine large stock of it in extra fine rhizomes that I am able to 
sell at a ridiculously low price for such a fine Iris. It is a lovely tall pink toned 
variety that it is hard to beat.20

crimson blend. It leaves nothing to be desired in a perfect Iris. A large stock of 
fine rhizomes will enable me to fill all orders this season for extra fine plants at a 
price that is within the reach of all. The color illustration does not show its 
richness or great beauty.20

FROM TOPEKA, KANSAS 
“I received my Iris order and was extremely well pleased and really 
surprised at the large plants you sent. I assure you that my future orders 
will be from your gardens 
because of its enchanting soft pastel tints. As a cut flower it is 
superb. The standards are iridescent silky pearl gray, with a flush 
of canary yellow at the base. The falls are the same color, flushed 
soft pink. The Iris is well named, as the name aptly describes 
the color effect.20 
Pale Moonlight— 48 in. A MAGNIFICENT NEW SOFT SKY- 
BLUE OF GIGANTIC SIZE, the color being uniform through¬ 
out. As many as six huge blossoms are open at one time.
