Iris Germanica - Fleur de Lis 
TEN CHOICE IRIS GERMANICA 
Alta California. Holds its place as one of 
the most worthwhile and sensational Iris 
grown. Itis the tallest of all the new yellow 
Iris and its branching qualifies it for ‘‘A”’ 
rating either as an individual stalk or as 
mass bloom. Yellow Iris have long been 
recognized as being the ‘‘spark’”’ that brings 
out the fullest beauty of any Iris garden 
and Alta California serves this purpose to 
perfection. 48 in. 
Buechley’s Giant. Early. An Iris giant in 
size and height and one of the ten largest 
and best. Huge, brilliant flowers of perfect 
form in a soft to medium blue effect. 50 in. 
Coppersmith. A very tall and robust- 
growing Iris. Not a new variety but 
worthy of a place in the garden because of 
its freedom of bloom, large rich copper- 
bronze flowers, and good foliage. 
Depute Nomblot. Standards light bronzy 
rose-purple; falls rosy red. 48 in. 
Indian Chief. Early. Without a _ peer 
among the medium tall reds of its color 
shade and blooms earlier than most when 
good ‘‘red”’ Iris are scarce. Bronzy violet 
standards with falls of Dahlia-carmine. A 
good doer everywhere and should be in 
every garden. 32 in. 
Jean Cayeux. A smooth soft light buff 
described as ‘‘coffee-colored.’’ Tall and 
very stately. 36 In. 
Los Angeles. The whiteness of fresh snow 
with a faint edge of lavender. 40 in.

of bold form, well-branched, many buds to

ous buff underlaid old-gold, with falls of 
soft violet faintly edged silvery brown.

charm that is difficult to describe. 40 in. 
Venus de Milo. Gigantic new white. Con- 
sidered by many as the best white. A per- 
fect flower in every way. 36 in. 
William Mohr. Early. Most orchid-like of 
all Iris, this unusual hybrid is the most 
distinct variety grown. The leaves always 
are small but the flowers are simply im- 
mense. The ground-color is pale lilac, 
standards flushed darker, the whole flower 
beautifully veined manganese-violet. Stems 
strong and rigid, 20 to 24 inches, usually 
four flowers on each.
