MARCH FLWERING 
The dwart iris are the joy of the early garden—so colorful, so sure to grow, so fragrant! They flower more 
than a month before the tall-bearded. Because most of the bloom stalks reach but 4 to 7 inches in height, 
these plants are indispensable for the rock garden, and they are equally effective for the front of the border 
or in perennial beds. 
The dwarts have, in miniature form, all the characteristics of the tall-bearded and are prodigious bloomers 
and rapid multipliers. Indeed, so rapidly do they increase that they soon present to the eye a solid sheet of 
colorful bloom—and after the flowering season, a dense mat of low green foliage. They lead the long iris 
parade, starting to bloom with the daffodils and continuing right into the tall-bearded season. 
Because our customers have found these early blooming colorful flower gems so desirable, we have 
searched the country for the most outstanding sorts. As a result of our efforts, we now are able to offer a 
much wider selection of colors and types than are listed by other dealers. 
ALBA. 4”. White. Closed standards of white; down-falling falls 
of greenish-white, veined dark olive; inconspicuous white beard. 
15c; 3 for 35c

among the iris of this class. 15c; 3 for 35c

purple; semi-flaring falls of very dark purple; conspicuous whitish 
beard. 15c; 3 for 35c

“The dwarf iris which I bought from you last year pleased me very 
much. They were fine rhizomes and grew and bloomed beautifully.” 
MRS. R. D. WOOLLARD, 
3419 North Union Ave., Tacoma, Wash. 
OWAISSA. 6”. Medium blue. Slightly open standards of blue; 
semi-flaring falls of blue; inconspicuous beard. 15e; 3 for 35c 
PALE BLUE. 6”. Light blue. Closed standards of very, very light 
blue; down-falling falls of slightly deeper blue, conspicuously 
washed yellow-green and splashed with violet. 15e; 3 for 35c 
PAPOOSE. 5”. Bronze and violet bicolor. Closed standards of buff- 
bronze; down-falling, dark violet-crimson falls, edged buff; con- 
spicuous bright gold beard. Flowers are larger than most dwarfs. 
15c; 3 for 35c 
RED-VIOLET. 4’. Violet-red. Closed standards of violet-red; semi-

beard. 15c; 3 for 35c 
ROSE MIST. 4. Rose-mauve. Closed standards of mauve rose; 
down-falling falls of slightly darker rose-mauve; conspicuous 
white beard. This one is the most beautiful dwarf in existence 
and is a best-seller among garden visitors. The colored picture on 
opposite page was made from a blossom of Asia, a tall-bearded 
variety we have discarded. But the color hues of both standards 
and falls of dwarf Rose Mist are very similar to the hues shown 
in the colored reproduction. 15c; 3 for 35c 
TAMPA. 4". Rose-red. Open standards of pure rose-red; semi- 
flaring falls of rose-red, veined deeper; bright yellow beard. Both 
flowers and roots of Tampa are the smallest of any dwart.

EVER-BLOOMING DWARFS 
Collection of 5 varieties for 
AUTUMN QUEEN, 10’. White. Slightly open standards of pure 
white; semi-flaring falls of snow white; inconspicuous beard. A

August and September in Oregon. 35c; 3 for 75c 
JEAN SIRET. 8”. Yellow. Closed standards of medium yellow; 
down-falling and somewhat incurving falls of medium yellow, 
washed and streaked crimson; conspicuous orange beard. This

it throws up a number of stalks throughout the summer and 
qutumn months. 25c; 3 for 60c 
SOUND MONEY. 4’. Gold. Closed standards of pure yellow; down- 
falling falls of golden yellow; inconspicuous beard. This variety 
bears larger flowers than most dwarfs; it re-blooms freely in our 
garden during the summer months, when given water and cul- 
tivation. 25c; 3 for 60c 

NATIONAL IRIS GARDENS, BEAVERTON, OREGON 
SUREFIRE. 12’. Cream yellow. Closed standards of cream yellow; 
down-falling falls of cream yellow, washed darker and display- 
ing some veining at haft; conspicuous golden beard. A most 
dependable September and October bloomer in our garden. A 
large bow] of these displayed at the Portland Men's Garden Club 
fall flower show in October attracted much attention. 35c: 3 for 75c 
ULTRA. 12”. Blue. Closed standards of ultramarine blue; down- 
falling falls of slightly darker blue; inconspicuous beard. Very 
large flowers. This variety blooms later than the other dwarfs in

existence. 25c; 3 for 70c
