and is one of the best of the pink-toned irises. The blooms are large

Airy Dream near a clear blue variety, such as Shining Waters, Pale 
Moonlight, or Pacific. 3 for 60c

tone of yellow and the falls a shade deeper, faintly bronzed at the 
base. The blossoms are carried on splendid stems 4 feet high.

Rich rose-lavender, washed with bronze. In form and bearing it 
is an aristocrat. The large flowers are borne on nicely branched 
stems, 4 feet high. 75c, 3 for $2.00 
ALWAYS (C. G. White) 
The huge flowers are as if carved from old ivory, so thick and 
firm is their substance, yet delicately decorated with veins and fine 
spatterings of bronzed red-purple. The heavy orange beard accents 
and adds to the yellow glow which suffuses the center of the 
flower. The widely branched stems are tall and strong. There is 
nothing temperamental or flimsy about this giant plicata. 34 feet. 
AUTUMN DAWN (Nies) B50 Jor 33-50

pink. A distinctive and valuable feature of Autumn Dawn is its free 
blooming habit. 28 inches. 35c, 3 for 90c

tifully veined in both standards and falls with deep purple. A

golden yellow beard. Bed Time is a flower of medium size on two- 
foot stems. An onco-bred. Early 75c, 3 for $2.00 
BLUE & GOLD (Essig) 
We saw a fine clump of this iris growing in a New England 
garden where it has become a decided favorite. The unusually 
large and well proportioned flowers are a beautiful shade of blue 
and are set off by a bright golden beard that makes a sharp contrast 
which is apparent from some distance; hence the name. 2 feet.

vivid dark irises I have ever seen. 50c, 3 for $1.25 
BLUE RIVER (Milliken) 
An iris primarily for the milder climates where a very early 
bloomer is wanted. A uniform deep blue companion of such early 
bloomers as San Gabriel, Sungold, Purissima, Mauna Loa, etc., 
which, when planted together with these varieties, extends the iris 
season as much as three weeks in the mild climates. The flowers 
are of medium size, well-rounded form, and are carried on well 
branched 3-foot stems. They are delighifully fragrant. $2.00 
BLUE SPIRE (Milliken) 
Here is a blue iris that seems to possess all the qualities of per- 
fection. Blue Spire, as the name would indicate, is tall and stately. 
has large, beautifully-shaped flowers of the clearest, cleanest 
shade of medium blue carried on strong, graceful, 4-foot stems. A 
strong grower w’th luxuriant toliage, Blue Spire is a joy to behold.
