For those who do not require each plant separately 
labelled, but merely wish an extravaganza display of Iris 
that will follow the Tall Bearded Iris in bloom, and thus 
extend the flowering season for a few weeks, this mixed 
collection will be most suitable. The plants will be of the 
types illustrated and described on these two pages, although 
not necessarily the same varieties. In fact I grow hundreds 
of varieties and haven’t the space to list them all. 
I have grown thousands of plants in mixture just for this 
collection and would have no way of telling just what 
colors will go into each collection; but this surprise element 
is one of the delights of buying this choice collection, for 
you will surely be agreeably surprised as you watch the 
many delightful colors unfold. The mixture as it is in the 
fields contains single, double and triple varieties; there are 
soft pastel colors and gorgeously brilliant ones, pinks, reds, 
light and dark blues, purples, violets, whites; solid colors, 
striped, blended and bordered effects, frilled petals and 
those of wax-like substance. These Iris come at a time 
when other Iris are scarce in the garden and will be es- 
pecially appreciated on that account. The flowers are of 
huge size and extremely showy. 
The plants will be of generous size, strong, well-rooted, 
flowering size; in fact as fine as any I have ever shipped.

the border fading out somewhat as the flower ages, but always at- 
tractive. Somewhat like the variety ‘‘Blue Border’’ on opposite page, 
but larger and better and with a heavier and wider border. 
, Amethyst—32 in. Very fine large single azure blue flowers of silky 
texture, with creamy white styles. An exquisitely dinaty color and a 
lovely flower. 
Bangkok—40 in. Early. Huge single flowers of an unusual uniform 
lavender-violet, with a slight area of deeper violet at the throat 
surrounding tiny orange spear points. Styles white, tipped lavender. 
Cherry River—38 in. Double. This is the finest pink toned variety I 
have seen, being a true soft pink, with a white area surrounding the 
yellow throat markings. 
Erynnie—30 in. This variety is more than a double or triple, having 
12 to 15 petals, all uniform and symmetrical and the flower is very 
beautiful. The outer portion of each petal is bright phlox purple with 
a snow white centre and snow white styles. 
Fukamurasaki—40 in. Double. Richest velvety deep Royal Purple, 
with nicely tufted centre; lemon yellow throat in striking contrast. 
One of the darkest. 
Furomon—40 in. A massive single flower with the white ground 
heavily flushed rose purple, giving a bright rose effect. 
Glory—36 in. A magnificent dark ‘“‘spotted”’ single, with white and blue 
purple heavily splashed over the falls. 
Hatsuka—30 in. Gorgeously rich single flowers of intense vivid Spec- 
trum Violet by the color charts. 
Helene—36 in. Double. This is one of the finest Iris I have. My last 
previous listing of it was in 1939 at $5.00. Now I have a large enough 
stock to include it in this collection at $1.00. Uniform blue-violet 
veins form a complete thread-like network over the white background. 
Indo—38 in. Huge single indigo-blue flowers, with lemon yellow throat 
makings surrounded by a narrow white area. Makes an imposing 
garden picture. 
Kiowa—30 in. A huge early single white, lightly veined petunia-violet, 
with tiny standards margined snow-white.  . 
Kobe—36 in. This is one of our most handsome double light blues, the 
color being uniform throughout. The flowers are of mammoth size 
and beautiful form. 
Maple Cascade—40 in. Very large early flowering double dark reddish- 
purple with a golden centre. 
Margaret S. Hendrickson—36 in. Double. I have always considered 
this the finest medium toned blue. It is a very much deeper tone than 
Kobe and is a perfect flower in every way. 
Mount Blanc—42 in. Very early double gigantic snow white, with soft 
lemon-yellow throat markings. The first of the Iris Kaempferi to 
bloom and one of the best. 
Purple Cloud—36 in. Double. A lovely smooth rich flower of heavy 
substance. Hyacinth violet, with fluorite violet styles and lemon 
yellow spear-heads at the throat. 
Santa Claus—36 in. Finest of its type. Double lavender-blue, shaded 
soft violet on the edges and veined deeper. 
Thunderstorm—42 in. Double. Superb flowers of deep red-purple, 
with a blue halo at the throat around prominent deep orange spear- 
points, the entire flower being flaked with white, as though spotted 
with snow flakes, giving a very “clothy”’ effect.
