The World's Finest Tall Bearded Iris 
(Continued) 
Venus de Milo—44 in. FRAGRANT. THIS VARIETY WAS THE SECOND 
CHOICE OF THE JUDGES IN DECIDING UPON THE VARIETY THAT 
WAS TO RECEIVE THE DYKES MEMORIAL MEDAL IN 1936, which 
shows the esteem in w hich it is held by experts. It is a gigantic pure snow white, 
a perfect flower in every way and considered by many competent judges to be 
the best white. IT SOLD FOR $20. 00 FOR A SINGLE PLANT IN 1932, but 
a fine large stock makes a very low price possible this season for superb plants,

Vert Gallant—50 in. WINNER OF THE DYKES MEM- 
ORIAL MEDAL, HIGHEST INTERNATIONAL 
HONORS. It is the most prodigious bloomer of any Iris 
I have ever seen, producing 4 to 5 flowering stalks to a 
single rhizome. As a garden mass or individual flower it 
is unexcelled. See Color illustration Page 19 which is only \ 
about one-quarter actual size .35 

Vestal Flame—45 in. A DELICIOUS SWEET LOCUST FRAG- | 
RANCE. A new glistening cream with a bright yellow beard and 
yellow halo at the centre, which gives the impression of a flame 
within, hence the name. A delightful effect.............. 20 
Vishnu—32 in. RICH SPICY FRAGRANCE. YOU WOULD NEVER PASS 
UP THIS VARIETY IF YOU SAW IT IN BLOOM, as it is one of our most 
unusual and beautiful Irises in a blending of soft pastel colors not to be found 
i in any other variety. It is a light pinkish-cinnamon blend, with maroon veins 
| on both sides of the deep orange beard. I am afraid this conveys but a very faint 
idea of the great beauty of this variety, but you can safely buy it upon my 
assurance that itis a: real beauty, ool: ssieicin irae ea eieiarl ates fete eenn nee te -20

CIETY 1936. WITHOUT A DOUBT THE LARGEST AND FINEST 
“PLICATA”’ INTRODUCED TO DATE to be sold at a modest price. 
The huge flowers are larger than San Francisco, which was a winner of 
the Dykes Memorial Medal. It is also of entirely different form, having 
straight hanging falls, which producesa superb garden effect. The flowers 
are of a glistening white, evenly etched around the border with a blue 
“feather-stitching,’’ Wasatch is the NUMBER ONE PLICATA. .25 
White and Gold—36 in. A pure glistening satiny white, with a brilliant 
golden beard which adda to its attractiveness and explains its name. A 
flower of perfect form and finish, a very profuse bloomer and I believe 
the most satisfactory of all for landscape effect or for mass effect 
in the garden, as it is exceptionally rugged and robust and no variety 
produces a greater quantity of blooms. | recommend it above all 
others for landscape effect .)5.. 1:55 is sw dice w creche a hermeaiel iniote -25

Winneshiek—36 in. I LIKE THIS BEST OF ALL THE NEW “BLACK” 
IRISES, the actual color being the deepest midnight blue-violet. It is 
certainly one of the best of this type, if not the best. The 
flower is large, of lustrous silky texture, of perfect form 
and freely produced. You will not be disappointed with

“The Iris that you sent me the latter part of 
summer 1940 bloomed beautifully last spring (1941) 
and I am most pleased with them.’’
