TALL BEARDED IRIS 
From My Farms in the Famous Yakima Valley 
Our great tribe of modern Tall Bearded Iris is like a World Congress—Congress 
of Beauty and Garden Splendour: “Pallida”’ from the Southern Tyrol; ‘“Albicans”’ 
from Arabia and Spain; “Variegata” from Serbia and Bulgaria, and the neighbor- 
hood of Vienna; ‘““Kashmuriana” from Afghanistan, Baluchistan, and the fragrant 
Vale of Kashmir; “Trojana” from the Troad; ‘“‘Mesopitamica” from Armenia; 
“Cypriana” from Cyprus, and “Ricardi’’ from Syria. All these and many others 
have been fetched from the loveliest natural garden spots of the world, and bred 
and cultivated, hybridized and blended, into the bewildering array of our modern 
brilliant, stately, superb, and luxurious Tall Bearded Irises. Hybridizers in friendly 
competition have striven intensively to outdo one another in the production of new 
and unique varieties, of enormous size and height, in new colors, forms, and tex- 
tures, with fragrance to outdo the lily and the rose, until today no flower approach- 
es the Irises in their combinations of these desirable qualities. The pedigrees of some 
of these splendid varieties are so far reaching, so complex, that seeds from a single 
pod of varieties fertilized with pollen from their own flowers will produce blooms 
in all the colors of the solar spectrum. The surpassing beauty of these latest cre- 
ations will thrill you like the glories of a golden, roseate, and opalescent sunset,
