See Page 25 Pansy Boy—42 in. VERY SWEET SUGARY FRAGRANCE. A very handsome, richly 
colored variety, with bright violet standards and the deepest rich pansy-violet falls. A 
prominent feature of this beautiful Iris is the brilliant contrast that is created by the 
rich pansy-violet falls having a milk-white back. My own introduction......... ot 
Paulette—54 in. THE TALLEST AND ONE OF THE LARGEST AND FINEST 
LIGHT BLUE TONED IRISES I HAVE EVER GROWN. HUGE FLOWERS, with 
full flaring falls measuring from 8 to 10 inches across. Sold a few years ago at $35. 00 
for a single plant. It is entirely unlike any other blue-toned Iris aoe now that it can be 
had at such a modest price it should be in every garden. . Seite 20 
Peacemaker—54 in. VERY FRAGRANT. A stylish new porcelain-gray Iris, 
with a soft lavender flush at the centre of the falls, reminding one somewhat 
of a piece of lacquered ware. There are also a few chocolate veins at the 
throat. There is no other Iris like it and it is a giant in stature, towering 
shoulder high 7.2 5. acmcrctstes iciels Te ee ee Rs Sncetren te .25 
Peaches—32 in. EARLY. FRAGRANT. A lovely new coppery-brown and 
lilac blend. Very much like Clara Noyes, illustrated on Page 7, but even 
more colorful and more shapely and larger. One of the 
outstanding Iris in my collection................ -20 
Persia—46 in. FRAGRANT, Massive blooms in a unique 
blending of deep colors, reminding one of the rich colors 
of a Persian Rug, hence the name. The flower has a 
glistening silky texture and js one of the finest I have. 
SOLD A FEW YEARS AGO FOR $35.00 FOR A 
SINGLE PLANT, but a large stock of extra fine rhiz- 
omes makes an extra low price possible this season. .20

ETY OF FRANCE. A beautiful, well formed, smooth, soft, canary yellow, with a deep orange beard, the 
entire flower being of a uniform color throughout, with well rounded petals of firm wax-like substance and 
a deep orange beard. A fine companion for the darker Pluie d’Or. The color illustration on Page 23 gives but

Pink Jadu—36 in. A very lovely white “Plicata,” with beautifully frilled and ruffled white standards, edged 
soft violet and with flaring falls of the same color and marking, with deep maroon veins at the throat and a 
deep orange beard. The color on the edge of the falls is in the form of a feather-stitching, and on the standards 
the color is in the form of a soft flush and peppering. Altogether lovely.............5eseeeseceeees -20 
Pink Satin—46 in. HONORABLE MENTION BY THE AMERICAN IRIS SOCIETY. One of the dozen 
finest pink tones, being one of the largest, tallest, smoothest and most exquisite in color introduced to date. 
It is entirely different in all respects from Frieda Mohr, Imperial Blush, Ethelwyn Dunbar, Eros and other 
fine pink-toned varieties, each of which has its own individual charm. It sold quite recently at $40.00 
for a single plant and now that it can be had at such a modest price it should be in every garden. See
