FROM MASSACHUSETTS 
“This year the Iris, both Bearded and Japanese, were beautiful, 
admired and enjoyed by neighbours and friends, as well as by the 
*amily.” 
Tiger-Tiger— 36 in. VERY FRAGRANT. ONE OF THE IRIS 
GIANTS AND ONE OF THE VERY FINEST OF ALL IRIS. 
Huge flowers of perfect form and poise, heavy substance and de¬ 
lightful coloring. One of the largest, richest and best of the red- 
toned bi-colors, with brilliant velvety Van Dyke Red falls and 
tan standards. A great bargain at the price for such a fine 
flower.20 
Tint O’ Tan —40 in. One of the best of the tan shades, with domed 
standards and flaring falls. A real bronzy-tan effect, with a 
brilliant orange beard. Hard to describe, but a perfect gem in 
every way.25 
Titus —36 in. EARLY. A very lovely pink toned variety, some¬ 
what resembling Aphrodite, but flowering about two weeks 
earlier. The first and finest early tall flowering pink.20 
Trail’s End— 38 in. HONORABLE MENTION AMERICAN 
IRIS SOCIETY. SOLD AT $20.00 FOR A SINGLE PLANT 
IN 1934, BUT A FINE STOCK OF EXTRA CHOICE LARGE 
PLANTS NOW PERMITS A VERY LOW PRICE FOR 
SUCH A FINE VARIETY. S—-orange-red over a bronzy-yellow 
ground; F—strawberry red. An outstanding color and a tre¬ 
mendously free bloomer, the plant being literally hidden by the 
flowers.20 
True Delight —36 in. A superb white “Plicata” with a “feather¬ 
stitch” border of bright pink. Beautiful as an individual flower 
for cut flower purposes and makes a magnificent mass effect in 
the garden. It is very free flowering, hardy, rugged and of fine 
form and good substance. The beautiful uniform “feather-stitch” 
pattern is most effective. The flower of course is very much larger 
than the illustration and much more handsome.15 
Tuscany Gold —36 in. I reserved my stock of this variety for 
propagation for several years in order that I might have enough 
of it to offer it for general distribution at an attractive price. The 
stock of it is still not plentiful. It is one of the most handsome 
Iris I have ever seen, the color being old-gold and it would seem 
to be poured from molten metal. Do not get the impression from 
this that the color is yellow, for it is not. It is a color you have 
not seen in any other Iris, with a richness all its own. The flowers 
are of fine form and substance and it is perfect in every way. .20 
Ukiah— 36 in. THIS IS ONE OF THE FINEST AND RICHEST 
IRIS WE HAVE, AS WELL AS ONE OF THE DARKEST. 
A superb new introduction with huge flowers of perfect form and 
wondrous substance and texture. The standards are lustrous 
Indian Red and the semi-flaring falls are blackish-maroon, of 
the richest velvety texture seen in any Iris. Now offered for the 
first time at a very low price.35 
Valor— 50 in. VERY FRAGRANT. GIVEN AN AWARD OF MERIT 
BY THE AMERICAN IRIS SOCIETY IN 1936. The largest, richest 
and finest of its type, the general color effect being a deep rich 
blackish blue-violet bi-color, but with marked changes in different 
lights, the color in the bright sunlight being bright crimson.20 
Talisman— 38 in. DELIGHTFULLY FRAGRANT. GIVEN AN 
AWARD OF MERIT BY THE IRIS SOCIETY OF ENGLAND. 
THIS IRIS, WHICH SOLD IN 1932 FOR $25.00 FOR A SINGLE 
PLANT, SHOULD BE IN EVERY GARDEN, AS IT IS IN THE 
EXACT COLORS OF THE WORLD’S MOST FAMOUS TALIS¬ 
MAN ROSE, a subtle blending of red, yellow, pink, and chamois, with 
an electric blue flush down the centre of the falls. It is one of our most 
lovely Iris.20 
Tapestry —40 in. EARLY. This variety is one of my own personal favor¬ 
ites. It reminds one of the fine variety Persia, excepting that the dominant 
color tone is more of a Tapestry Red. The flowers are of huge size, with 
erect soft red-violet standards and with deep rich red-violet straight 
hanging falls, giving ideal garden effect. The falls have a narrow border 
in the softer color to match the standards. A real beauty.15

Shining Waters—35c—See Page 23 
Ta-wa —24 in. VERY EARLY. A new very early flowering Sass introduc¬ 
tion, with very large yellow flowers of fine form and substance. Fine for 
planting in front of the taller growing varieties.15 
Thais— 42 in. EARLY. VERY SWEET FRAGRANCE. GIVEN AN 
AWARD OF MERIT BY THE FRENCH NATIONAL HORTI¬ 
CULTURAL SOCIETY. Huge flowers of perfect form in a most unusual 
and attractive pink tone. One of the most gorgeous of our pink toned 
Irises which makes a marvelous garden mass. I can furnish extra 
fine large plants of this variety this season at an unusually at¬ 
tractive price.. 
The Black Douglas —38 in. THIS NEW VARIETY IS UNQUESTION¬ 
ABLY THE BEST OF THE NEW DARK TONES OR SO-CALLED 
BLACKS. It is a very richly and deeply colored Iris, of perfect form, 
heavy substance, huge size and a prolific bloomer. The general effect is 
an intense deep blackish pansy violet and it seems to be cut out of 
velvet. 
Theme— 46 in. SWEET FRAGRANCE. A beautiful new blend in rare 
colors all its own. The flowers are of huge size, comparing with the 
giant Nene in size. The standards are bronzy-gray, flushed lavender and 
the falls are bronzed tan, veined and flushed petunia-violet.20 
Theodolinda —42 in. A huge new “Plicata,” larger than San Francisco 
and in an entirely different shape, with upright standards and straight 
hanging falls, giving the best possible garden effect. The standards are 
beautifully edged with a soft blue feather-stitching. The falls have a 
deeper feather-stitched edging at the throat, but lighter on the balance 
of the petal. A real advance in this group.25 
Thuratus— 34 in. A NEW SASS BLACK IRIS, in reality an exceedingly 
rich blackish prune-purple. One of the darkest of all Iris, with a satin> 
lustre that makes it superb. Sold for $25.00 for a single plant in 1932, 
but an extra fine stock of superb plants now permits me to make an 
exceedingly low price for such a fine Iris. 15>
