The dwarf iris are the joy of the early garden—so colorful, so sure to grow, so fragrant! 
They flower more than a month before the tall-bearded. Because most of the bloom stalks reach 
but 4 to 7 inches in height, these plants are indispensable for the rock garden, and they are 
equally effective for the front of the border or in perennial beds. 
The dwarfs have, in miniature form, all the characteristics of the tall-bearded and are 
prodigious bloomers and rapid multipliers. Indeed, so rapidly do they increase that they soon 
present to the eye a solid sheet of colorful bloom—and after the flowering season, a dense 
mat of low green foliage. They lead the long iris parade, starting to bloom with the daffodils 
and continuing right into the tall-bearded season. 
Because our customers have found these early blooming colorful flower gems so desirable, 
we have searched the country for the most outstanding sorts. As a result of our efforts, we 
now are able to offer a much wider selection of colors and types than are listed by other 
dealers. 

SEE COLOR CLASS 8 
ALBA. S-C; F-DF; B-I. Pure white S. with white F. tinged and veined 
olive green. 15c; 3 for 35c 
BLUE. S-C; F-DF; B-I. The S. are very light blue, with F. the same 
but conspicuously washed yellow-green and flecked violet. 
15c; 3 for 35c 
BRIDE. S-C; F-DF; B-I. Large pure white flowers with slight yellow- 
green veining at haft. The very best white dwarf. 15c; 3 for 35c 
CURIOSITY. S-C; F-DF; B-I. Light bluish-white S. The F. are buff, 
washed yellow-green and flecked violet. A true curiosity and 
most attractive in the garden picture. 15c; 3 for 35c 
GOLDEN. S-SO; F-SF; BC. Entire large flower is deep gold, with F. 
petals displaying conspicuous bright orange beard. 15e; 3 for 35c 
KEEPSAKE. S-O; F-SF; B-C. Very small, pretty flowers on short 
ROSE MIST. S-C; F-DF; B-C. Of all the pinks and mauves we have 
tried out, Rose Mist is the most beautiful and makes the most 
attractive mass display. It is dark mauve-rose and there is no 
other variety even similar to it in hue. F. are slightly darker than 
S. and show thin white beard. This variety is a MUST HAVE! 
l5c; 3 for 35c 
SOUND MONEY. S-C; F-DF; B-I. One attractive feature about this 
large rich golden yellow is that it blossoms twice a year—in the 
spring, and often again in the autumn. If you have forgotten what 
gold looks like since they buried it all under Fort Knox, then try 
growing this flower in your garden. 15c; 3 for 35c 
TAMPA. S-O; F-SF; B-C. No dwarf border or garden group is com- 
plete without a red to lend contrast. S. of Tampa are pure rose- 
ted while F. are rose-red but veined deeper, and display bright 
attractive yellow beard. Flowers are the smallest of any dwarf 
listed here. lSc: 3 for 35c 
ULTRA. S-O; F-F; B-I. The unusual brilliant ultra-marine blue color 
of this iris would make it valuable even if it flowered only in the 
spring; however, it often throws up blossom stalks in the autumn 
as well. Truly, a most delightful sort. S. are medium blue; F. are 
deep violetblue. Ultra has the largest flowers and tallest stalks 
of any dwarf. 15c; 3 for 35c

stalks. All petals are bright golden yellow, with F. displaying 
brighter orange beard. 15c; 3 for 35c 
NEGUS. S-SO; F-DF; B-C. Deep purple S. with darker velvety F. 
Light yellow beard is prominent on F. petals which are quite 
narrow at haft. 15c; 3 for 35c 
PAPOOSE. S-C; F-DF; B-C. It has been our belief that flower lovers 
like some blossoms which are distinctly different from the usual 
tun. Papoose is such an iris for it has 8. of buff-bronze and F. of 
dark mahogany with a narrow buff border. Bright gold beard is 
most conspicuous. 15c; 3 for 35c 



NATIONAL’S DWARF HEMEROCALLIS — A rare dwarf which 
grows to an average height of but twelve inches, thus being ideal 
for rockeries and other spots where a low-growing summer 
flower is desirable. Fairly large orange-yellow flowers are pro- 
duced by plants having delightful grass-like foliage. The regular 
blooming period is early summer, but in our own garden 
about every other clump pro- 
es rae a duces one or more flower 
ae stalks in late August and in 
" ¢ 2 September. 
, Anyone ordering dwart iris 
od should plant with them a 
_ plant or two of this desirable 
open dwarf hemerocallis which 
flowers at a later period. A 
limited number are available 
at $1 each; 3 for $2.50.
