Favori—30 in. GIVEN AN AWARD OF MERIT BY THE FRENCH 
NATIONAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. A new French introduction and 
one of the finest and most brilliant of its color, which is a uniform rich pansy- 
violet. A blue-tipped bronze beard adds to its attractiveness. The standards are 
beautifully frilled and the falls nicely flaring, the flower being of fine form ane

Fragonard—36 in. GIVEN AN AWARD OF MERIT BY THE FRENCH 
NATIONAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. This deep pink toned Iris has 
something about it that immediately attracts attention in the garden. It is the 
special and very unusual and brilliant tone. I do not know anything that I can 
compare it with, but it is entirely different from any other Iris we have and 
produces an amazingly striking garden Mass ces vice siecle c ccs else scue lee 15

A CONSTANT PRIZE-WINNER WHEREVER IT IS EXHIBITED 
and has undoubtedly won more first prizes than any other Iris. It has deservedly 
been the most popular pink toned Iris in my collection for several seasons. 
Nothing new has appeared that is equal to it in its class; in fact there is no other 
Iris like it. Besides huge flowers, perfect form, exquisite color, and aristocratic 
bearing, it also has a delicious Locust Fragrance, being one of the most fragrant 
of all Iris. Besides all this it has a very long flowering season, flowering with the 
earliest and continuing to flower with the latest of this group. Sold a few years 
ago at $25.00 for a single plant, it is now within the reach of all flower ioxere:
