MOST UNUSUAL 
HYBRIDS 
These varieties resulted 
from crossing the bearded 
iris species with the rare 
Oncocyclus species of Asia 
Minor, and again crossing 
the resulting hybrids with 
the bearded species. The 
flowers are entirely differ- 
ent from ordinary iris, and 
are extremely beautiful and 
odd. Plants are hardy and 
easily grown everywhere, 
though roots generally are 
small,

MISCELLANEOUS IRIS 
DICHOTOMA—THE VESPER IRIS. 36’’. One of the most interesting 
of all iris species—an importation from Northern China. Profusely 
branched stalks produce a great number of tiny jewel-like laven- 
der, mahogany, and copper blossoms during July and August. A 
clump will produce 100 to 200 delicate flowers. 25c; 3 for 60c. 
DOROTHEA WILLIAMSON. 30’. Hybrid of two American species, 
bearing flowers of royal purple. Entirely different from other iris 
and fine for table bouquets. Grows best in damp soil, but will 
grow and bloom in dry ground. 50c: 3 for $1.25 
PSEUDACORUS GIGANTEA. 24”. European Water Iris. Rich yel- 
low flower, produced by plants which are hardy everywhere. 
Roots do best in damp soil and are excellent for the water garden 
or for naturalizing; but this species is just as fine for the ordinary 
home garden. Although the plants will grow in water, they also 
will grow and bloom in dry soil. 25c; 3 for 60c 
SIBERIANS. This species has long stems and grass-like foliage, 
growing into large, round compact clumps bearing 25 to 50 bloom 
stalks, with each stalk producing a number of graceful, fairy-like 
flowers. Although these plants will grow and bloom in any soil, 
they do best in damp ground or if watered occasionally. They are 
excellent beside streams or pools. The flowers make beautiful 
bouquets for indoor decoration. Varieties of blue, lavender, and 
violet hues which we grow are: Dragonfly, Lady Northcliff, Nora 
Distin, Peggy Perry, Perry's Blue, and Sanguinea. 
25c each; all six for $1.00 
SPURIA MONNEIRI. 44”. Spurias are tall beardless iris which 
make fine border plants. They prefer heavy rich damp soil which 
makes them do especially well near pools; but they will grow in 
any soil and bloom satisfactorily regardless of moisture. The 
flowers resemble Dutch iris in shape, but are much larger, and 
the roots are not bulbous. Stalks are 40 to 60 inches in height and 
are strong and cane-like. No garden is complete without a plant- 
ing of this valuable species. Monneiri variety is a beautiful, large 
pure medium yellow. 25c; 3 for 60c 
SPURIA OCHROLEUCA. Like Monneiri in growth, but bearing white 
blossoms, with large attractive orange blotch on the fall petals. 
Very colorful, and a variety which deserves to be in every gar- 
den. If we had but ten iris of all types to select for our own pri- 
vate garden, Spuria Ochroleuca would be one of them. 
25c;: 3 for 60c 
TECTORUM. 12”. Famous blue crested iris of the Orient. 
50c; 3 for $1.25
