The Vesper Iris 
{Iris Dichotoma) 
The Vesper Iris in its beautiful filigree of graceful branches with an 
incredible number of flowers like jewels, makes a veritable bouquet by itself. 
A multitude of gorgeous butterflies at rest wdth motionless but outstretched 
wings, is suggested by the blossoms of delicate colors which include cool 
lavender In various tones marked with browm, copper, lemon, mahogany, 
orange and tyrian. 
The etherlal beauty of the Vesper Iris, often shoulder high, is really 
difficult to describe. Hardy, enduring with impunity, severes of both cold and 
heat, this desirable but too little known and used, member of the Iris family, 
with its delicate blossoms in late July an.d August, sometimes into September, 
will enhance the beauty of any garden. It fills the gap between the late 
Tall Bearded Irises and the Fall Bloomers. 
We w'ant you to know this Iris, so w'e make you the following most 
attractive offer; 3 roots for only 30c postpaid. (It usually lists for 35c to 75c 
each.) The offer is limited to the stock on hand. 
The following Is quoted from an unsolicited letter from an Oklahoma 
customer: 
‘‘In the spring of 1939 I ordered Vesper Iris, Two plants sent up 10 
flower stems and had 6,450 blooms. They bloomed from 60 to 225 blooms per 
day from July 17 to August 29. It is a strange flow'er here. I am surely 
proud of my plants.”
