\ SPECIES AND VARIETIES OF BEARDLESS IRIS—Continued 
_FULVALA (Dykes, 1910), 24 to 30 inches. This‘is a cross between 
our Southern Copper colored Iris Fulva with Lamancea and is 
an exceedingly attractive garden Iris. It is similar in form 
to D. K. Williamson (also a Fulva hybrid), but whereas D. K. 
Williamson is a bright royal purple, Fulvala takes on more 
of the copper shade of Fulva. I have grown this for six years 
and thoroughly tested its hardiness in the North and found 
it to be as rugged and as easily grown as anything in my gar- 
dens. This variety, and D. K. Williamson also, make exquisite 
cut flowers and deserve to be more generally grown. It is 
very scarce and was listed by only four American growers last 
year. $1.50 each; 3 for $3.75, 6 for $6.00 
GULDENSTAEDTIANA (Syn. halophila). An interesting species that 
is found in Persia, Turkestan and Afghanistan. These will 
probably bloom in my garden for the first time in 1931, so I 
‘will have to defer describing them for another year. 
$1.50 each; 3 for $3.75, 6 for $6.00 
KERMESIANA. An interesting and very rare form of Versicolor in 
claret red tones. $2.50 each; 3 for $6.75, 6 for $12.00 
LAEVIGATA, 20 inches. I have a limited stock of the true Japanese 
' species imported several years ago. They establish and multiply 
slowly and are quite scarce. This variety is sometimes confused 
with Kampferi, both of these varieties being of principal in- 
terest as the possible parents of the modern Japanese Iris, the 
origin of which has never been definitely traced. $5.00 each 
LAMANCEI (Hexagona Lamancei). A very pretty American Species, 
with violet blue flowers that nestle down in the foliage. 
$1.00 each; 3 for $2.75, 6 for $5.00 
LONGSIB. A hybrid of Longipetala with Sibirica that takes on some- 
what of the parentage of each of these two families. It is a 
charming, dainty flower of entirely unique coloring and mark- 
ings resembling mostly the Siberian Iris in form, but entirely 
different in color from either parent or from any other Iris I 
have ever seen. The standards and falls are a soft grayish 
lavender over a cream ground and the falls are beautifully and 
sharply veined at the throat, fading out to lighter veining at 
the tip. The styles are soft amber. This variety has proven 
quite hardy. $5.00 each 
MISSOURIENSIS. A native of the Rocky Mountains and belonging 
-* to the Longipetala group, the flowers, which somewhat resemble 
a Siberian Iris, being of lavender blue coloring. 
$1.00 each; 3 for $2.75, 6 for $5.00 
PRISMATICA. An American species, that is sometimes called “The 
Cubeseed Iris” because its seeds are cubical in shape, which 
ready distinguishes it from other species. The erect standards 
re of violet color and the falls are white, with violet veining. 
-The flower is somewhat like a Siberian Iris, but usually grows 
in boggy ground and is therefore suitable for a wet location. 
In fact, it seems to require plenty of moisture for best results. 
$1.00 each; 3 for $2.75, 6 for $5.00
