THE WORLD’S FINEST IRISES 


DWARF BEARDED IRIS—Continued 
JUDY (Burchfield, 1927), 9 inches. This is quite a departure in the 
color of dwarfs, being a rich ruby self, about the color of Opera 
with a white-tipped beard and a white throat veined purple, 
$5.00 each; 3 for $12.50, 6 for $20.00 
-LE PACTOLE (Millet, 1906), 5 inches. An excellent dwarf yellow, 
the ruffled standards being of bright yellow, the falls bronzy 
yellow, with a bright orange beard and _ yellow styles. Very 
scarce. $2.50 each; 3 for $6.75, 6 for $12.00 | 
MAIA (Millet, 1914), 8 inches. FRAGRANT. A real gem, very 
richly colored and exquisitely fragrant. The standards are 
Bishops violet, with violet cardinal falls. Very scarce. 
$1.50 each; 3 for $3.75, 6 for $6.00 
MAROCAIN, 74-85 (Millet, 1914), 10 inches. This is the darkest of 
. all the dwarfs, being a very rich dark red purple. It is a 
prolific bloomer and makes a great show in the garden. 
$1.00 each; 3 for $2.75, 6 for $5.00 
MIREILLE BABOEUF (Millet, 1911), 8 inches. One of the richest 
colored of the dwarf Iris. The erect standards are of a silky 
texture and deep plum violet color. The falls are of a deeper 
shade, almost black. Not a large flower but delightfully pro- 
portioned for its stature. $1.50 each; 3 for $3.75, 6 for $6.00 
ORANGE QUEEN (Barr, 1910), 6 to 8 inches. One of the best yel- 
lows, being a uniform shade of clear deep yellow. 
50c each; 3 for $1.25, 6 for $2.00, 100 for $25.00 
RAJAH (Sturt., 1929), 6 inches. A mahogany purple bicolor, with 
yellow haft and orange beard. $3.50 each 
REICHENBACHIANA, 10 inches. FRAGRANT. This is an inter- 
esting wild species from Servia. It is a uniform soft lemon 
yellow flower of good form and quite floriferous. 
$1.50 each; 3 for $3.75, 6 for $6.00 
SOCRATES, 85-81, 6 inches. The origin of this variety seems to be 
unknown, but it is a very handsome rich wine red Iris, that is 
quite scarce. 75c each; 3 for $2.00, 6 for $3.50 
SOUV. de LIEUT. CHAVAGNAC (Andre, 1926). New violet dwarf 
everblooming variety. See JEAN SIRET. $10.00 each 
STATELLAE, 74-76 (Origin unknown), 10 to 14 inches. VERY FRA- 
GRANT. This is a very lovely creamy white collected Iris that 
is probably a natural hybrid. It is my own choice as the finest 
of the white dwarfs. It has a stylish bearing, the flowers are 
well proportioned and they are delightful for cutting. The falls 
are delicately flushed yellow and veined olive, with a brilliant 
orange beard. 75c each; 3 for $2.00, 6 for $3.00 
YLO (Sturt., 1926), 6 inches. An attractive dainty yellow pumila with 
flaring falls. $1.50 each; 3 for $3.75, 6 for $6.00
