W. R. Dykes—75c 
w. R. Dykes—40 in. EARLY. THIS FAMOUS YELLOW IRIS HAS 
BEEN MUCH USED FOR BREEDING AND IS THE PARENT OF 
MOST IF NOT ALL OF OUR NEW GIANT YELLOWS. MY ORI¬ 
GINAL PLANTS OF THIS VARIETY COST ME $125.00 EACH TO 
IMPORT THEM. It represented a new advance in yellows never pre¬ 
viously approached. The flowers are of huge size, in the giant class, 
with frilled standards and somewhat crinkled falls, giving it a most 
artistic effect. The falls are sometimes mottled as shown in the illus¬ 
tration, but this mottling becomes an artistic addition to its beauty. At 
other times the color is uniform throughout, without any other color. 
Either way it is a handsome flower.^5 
Yellow Pearl—40 in. LEMON FRAGRANCE. A very deligthful soft 
lemon yellow, with soft green-gold veining at the throat. Very desirable 
greatly reduced 
for garden mass, notwithstanding other fine new yellows, as it is different 
from any. A oecided improvement on the Shekinah type and a delightful 
Iris..20

Zuni— 40 in. HUGE FLOWERS OF AN UNUSUAL RICH GLOWING 
RED-BROWN COLOR, SUFFUSED COPPER. The huge flowers are 
of the most perfect form, of very heavy substance and a rich velvety 
texture and nicely placed on tall branching stems. The illustration on 
Page 21 is about one-quarter actual size.25
