wonderful group of Iris species from the lower Delta. 
IRIS AVALON BLEND 
There is a bit of every true Iris that we have in seed form 
in this blend, not of course in equal proportions, for 
some kinds are too scarce for this, but at least a little 
of each, and much of many, to give a balance of color and 
form that, we believe, has not as yet been excelled in any 
Iris-seed mixture offered anywhere. Here is the oppor- 
tunity to secure finest Irises in quantity. 14/ig oz. 15c; % 
oz. 25c; %4 oz. 40c; 1 oz. $1.25; %4 Ib. $4.00. 
THE IRISES 
The species Irises offer variations: in beauty that are 
quite beyond the ken of those who have known or grown 
only the named hybrids that are usual in gardens, desirable 
as these are. Irises are not difficult from seed, save perhaps, 
to those persons of particularly impatient temperament 
who must have whatever they may be wanting, right then, 
no later; but such will never be really of the garden. Be sure 
to look at end of Iris list for many other equally desirable 
species. 
21 IRIS ARENARIA—ery(1-2)8. Pretty Iris of early spring. 
Bronze buds open to flowers of yellow vividness. Pkt. 15c; 
1/1g oz. 40c. (Plants, each 30c; 3 for 85c.) Syn. I. flavis- 
sima. Illustrated page 41. 
21 IRIS BREVIPES—crmy(3)7. A very dwarf, late flower-

21 IRIS CHRYSOGRAPHES—rcy(2)24. ‘‘Written in gold” 
is a free translation of the name, the oddly irregular golden 
pencilings on the black-purple flowers seeming to be Chinese 
inscriptions. There is, though, considerable variation in 
ground color and in markings from plant to plant. We offer 
the true species. (Plants only, each 40c; 3 for $1.10.) 
21 IRIS CHRYSOPHOENICIA ALBA—bmy(2)40. Big white

They 
are quite unlike other Irises, blossoms tending toward the 
flattened form of the Japanese. They show the clearest of 
sky-blues, then lavender to purple, red-violet, lilac or cerise. 
And there are tawny shades, pink tones, old rose, mahogany, 
and ruddy orange, with others that are close to red. Many 
have golden crests; flowers are mostly of largest size. They 
are fully hardy in the north, and will thrive in the ordinary 
garden. Height varies from six inches to seven feet. The 
blooming begins as the “German” Irises are fading, and 
lasts until the Japanese Irises are past their prime. 8 seeds 
for 25c; 20 for 50c. (Plants, mixed only, 30c each; 3 for 
85c; 10 for $2.50.)

easy from seed, often flowering first season from sowings 
made in very early spring. Illustrated page 62. Pkt. 10c; 
1% oz. 20c; % oz. 35c; 1 oz. $1.10. (Plants, 3 for 35c; 10
