The World’s Finest Tall Bearded Iris 
(Continued) 
Pansy Boy —42 in. VERY SWEET SUGARY FRAGRANCE. A very handsome, richly 
colored variety, with bright violet standards and the deepest rich pansy-violet falls. A 
prominent feature of this beautiful Iris is the brilliant contrast that is created by the 
rich pansy-violet falls having a milk-white back. My own introduction. 20 
Paulette— 54 in. THE TALLEST AND ONE OF THE LARGEST AND FINEST 
LIGHT BLUE TONED IRISES I HAVE EVER GROWN. HUGE FLOWERS, with 
full flaring falls measuring from 8 to 10 inches across. Sold a few years ago at $35.00 
for a single plant. It is entirely unlike any other blue-toned Iris and now that it can be 
had at such a modest price it should be in every garden.20 
Peacemaker —54 in. VERY FRAGRANT. A stylish new porcelain-gray Iris, 
with a soft lavender flush at the centre of the falls, reminding one somewhat 
of a piece of lacquered ware. There are also a few chocolate veins at the 
throat. There is no other Iris like it and it is a giant in stature, towering 
shoulder high. 25 
Peaches —32 in. EARLY. FRAGRANT. A lovely new coppery-brown and 
lilac blend. Very much like Clara Noyes, illustrated on Page 5, but even 
more colorful and more shapely and larger. One of the outstanding Iris in 
my collection.25 
Persia —46 in. FRAGRANT. Massive blooms in a unique 
blending of deep colors, reminding one of the rich colors 
of a Persian Rug, hence the name. The flower has a 
glistening silky texture and is one of the finest I have. 
BOLD A FEW YEARS AGO FOR $35.00 FOR A 
SINGLE PLANT, but a large stock of extra fine rhiz¬ 
omes makes an extra low price possible this season. .20 
Phebus— 42 in. GIVEN AN AWARD OF MERIT BY THE NATIONAL HORTICULTURAL SOCI¬ 
ETY OF FRANCE. A beautiful, well formed, smooth, soft, canary yellow, with a deep orange beard, the 
entire flower being of a uniform color throughout, with well rounded petals of firm wax-like substance and 
a deep orange beard. A fine companion for the darker Pluie d’Or. The color illustration on Page 21 gives but 
a slight idea of the great beauty of this Iris.20 
Phosphor —40 in. FRAGRANT. A great advance in form and pubstance over most soft yellows. The flaring 
falls are softly flushed with a delicate purple haze, adding to its attractiveness.20 
Pink Jadu —36 in. A very lovely white “Plicata,” with beautifully frilled and ruffled white standards, edged 
soft violet and with flaring falls of the same color and marking, with deep maroon veins at the throat and a 
deep orange beard. The color on the edge of the falls is in the form of a feather-stitching, and on the standards 
the color is in the form of a soft flush and peppering. Altogether lovely. 20 
Pink Opal —48 in. A sister seedling of Pink Satin, this lovely variety stands four feet high with its exquisite 
pink-toned flowers. It is very aptly named and is one of our best pinks. 20 
Pink Satin— 46 in. HONORABLE MENTION BY THE AMERICAN IRIS SOCIETY. One of the dozen 
finest pink tones, being one of the largest, tallest, smoothest and most exquisite in color introduced to date. 
It is entirely different in all respects from Frieda Mohr, Imperial Blush, Ethelwyn Dunbar, Eros and other 
fine pink-toned varieties, each of which has its own individual charm. It sold quite recently at $40.00 
for a single plant and now that it can be had at such a modest price it should be in every garden. See 
color illustration Page 10. 20 
Pluie d’Or (Golden Rain)—41 in. WINNER OF THE DYKES MEMORIAL 
MEDAL, HIGHEST INTERNATIONAL HONORS. A FINE DEEP 
CLEAR TALL YELLOW that is unsurpassed for landscape effect. A pro¬ 
digious bloomer, entirely hiding the plant by its mass of flowers. SOLD FOR 
$35.00 FOR A SINGLE PLANT WHEN FIRST INTRODUCED A FEW 
YEARS AGO. See color illustration Page 19. 20 
Pongee —40 in. This variety is so named because it has both the color and the texture 
of pongee silk, a uniform soft buff, with a frosty iridescence covering the entire flower. 
Delightful as a cut flower or garden subject. 20 
President Pilkington— 46 in. GIVEN AN AWARD OF MERIT BY THE FRENCH 
NATIONAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY; ALSO SPECIAL PRIZE OF THE 
IRIS COMMISSION FOR THE BEST THREE IRISES OF THE YEAR. A 1933 
introduction of the famous French concern of Cayeux and named after the President 
of The Iris Society of England, himself a famous hybridizer. Many magnificent, large, 
perfectly formed flowers, of an outstanding blending of colors, are produced in the 
greatest profusion. The illustration on Page 24 gives but a faint idea of the great 
beauty of this Iris, as it is much more handsome than the illustration. It sold in 
1933 for $25.00 for a single plant. A magnificent stock of extra fine plants now 
permits a very low price.20 
Prof. S. B. Mitchell— 42 in. CERTIFICATE OF MERIT AND WINNER OF 
SPECIAL PRIZE OFFERED BY THE IRIS COMMISSION OF FRANCE FOR 
THE BEST THREE NEW IRISES. Enormous flowers of deep purplish-red tones; 
the falls deeper and intensely velvety. Perfect in form and texture and one of the 
best. Offered for the first time at a moderate price. 50 
Purissima —48 in. EARLY. Pure snow-white, of perfect form and wax-like substance. 
Stood several days of over 100 degrees temperature in my gardens without the 
slightest effect, when most other Iris wilted in the intense heat. Considered by many 
Iris specialists to be the most perfect white Iris. 20 
Purple Giant —32 in. A huge deep rich pansy-violet of uniform color throughout, with 
a bronze beard. Makes a marvelously rich garden mass. 25

“I want to tell you how very wonderful I have always found your plants. 
They always come beautifully packed and are so healthy and grow so well, 
and your directions for planting are invaluable
