THE WORLD’S FINEST IRISES 


INTERMEDIATE IRIS—Continued 
YELLOW HAMMER, 78-80 (Denis, 1920), 20 to 24 inches, Clear 
primrose yellow with a deep golden beard. One of the largest 
and finest of the yellow intermediates and very scarce. 
$1.50 each; 3 for $3.75, 6 for $6.00 
ZUA, 79-74 (Crawford, 1914), 18 inches. FRAGRANT. This variety 
is in a class by itself both on account of its color, which is a 
uniform soft pearl grey and also on account of its creped and 
crinkled petals. It looks like an artificial flower made out of 
crepe paper. The flowers are fragrant and of good size. 
75c each; 3 for $2.00, 6 for $3.50 
ZWANENBURG, 80-82 (Denis, 1912), 20 inches. Although this is a 
Pogocyclus hybrid, I am including it in this section, because 
it blooms at the same time and is just as rugged and hardy as 
any of the intermediates. In fact, in my gardens, while it does 
well in full sunshine, another planting in almost full shade 
does equally well. It is the largest flowered of the early 
varieties, blooming in the latitude of N. Y. the first and second 
week of May. The handsome, well-shaped flowers are of un- 
usual coloring. The large silky cup-shaped standards are cream 
colored, flushed and lightly blotched pale violet, while the 
smooth velvety falls are of rich old gold, splashed irregularly 
with soft maroon. The lemon yellow crests and bright orange 
beard add to its beauty. A prodigious bloomer. 
75c each; 3 for $2.00, 6 for $3.50
