FROM LOUISIANA 
“The collection of Iris I received from you six weeks ago are in 
excellent condition although we have not had a drop of rain in 
over 6 weeks. Some have already bloomed. I trust that every one 
who receives your beautiful catalogue will appreciate it as much 
as I do. It is indeed a masterpiece, and to me more interesting 
than a stroll through the Louvre of Versailles.”’ 
Guyasuta—32 in. EARLY. One of the finest, largest and richest of 
the deep purple group. | paid $25.00 a plant for my original stock of 
this variety. The flowers are large, perfectly formed, of heavy substance, 
uniform in color throughout and it is a prodigious bloomer and robust 
grower. It represents a distinct advance in the purple type....... -20 
Happy Days—44 in. AWARD OF MERIT AMERICAN IRIS SOCIETY 
1937. The Hybridizer’s dream come true. A mammoth sized deep 
yellow, as large as the giant Nene, with an unusual glistening finish 
and a deep orange beard. The largest of all yellows with flowers over 
seven inches from top to bottom, on tall, stout, well-branched 
stalks, carrying 7 to 8 massive blooms to each stalk. The color is 
deep yellow, almost as deep as California Gold and the flower is of fine 
form and heavy substance. I believe I have the largest-and finest stock 
in America of this very, fine.variety soe sees onrte melee eter: 
Helios—44 in. AWARDED A CERTIFICATE OF MERIT, ALSO A 
SPECIAL PRIZE OF THE NATIONAL HORTICULTURAL SO- 
CIETY OF FRANCE, where it originated. Sensational soft lemon- 
yellow flowers of enormous size and smooth polished ivory finish. I am 
fortunate in having a fine stock of this variety in extra large rhizomes, 
and I am therefore making a ridiculously low price for such a fine Iris.

MOST INTENSE PURE BLUE I HAVE SEEN IN ANY IRIS. The 
deep pure blue color is uniform throughout and it is a mighty fine Iris 
that every one admires. I believe I have the only stock of it in America.

Imperial Blush—44 in. FRAGRANT. I BELIEVE THIS NEW SOFT 
PINK-TONED IRIS IS ONE OF THE THREE LARGEST AND 
FINEST IN THIS CLASS. It is a very lovely soft pink, softer and a 
purer pink than Pink Satin, about twice as large and entirely different 
ap form, in fact it has a perfection of form approached by very few 
rises
