THE WORLD’S FINEST IRISES 


SPURIAS—Continued 
AUREA (Species), 38 inches. This is a very fine uniform, rich golden 
yellow flower, which is lovely in association with the Siberian 
Iris. It is a little difficult to establish in the East, but when once 
established is hardy and a most magnificent flower. This Aurea 
“Species” is not to be confused with Aurea bearded Iris, which 
is also yellow but entirely different and unimportant. Aurea 
“Species” or beardless Iris is without doubt one of the finest 
Iris in the world. For those who wish to try this variety, I will 
sell. aifew-plants ator. 2. < s waseeee es oe eee $2.50 each 
DOROTHY FOSTER, 40 inches. Erect violet standards and lighter 
falls beautifully striped. Hardy and easy to grow. $2.50 each 
JUNO, 40 inches. Identical in color with Dorothy Foster but of slightly 
different form. A very choice cut flower. Quite hardy. 
$2.50 each 
LONGIPETALA, 24 inches. A very elegant flower of white, suffused 
lilac and beautifully veined. I do not wish to sell this except- 
ing to the Iris Connoisseur, who will buy it at his own risk, as 
it is hard to establish, but when once well established it is a 
very lovely flower. $1.50 each; 3 for $3.75, 6 for $6.00 
LORD WOLSELEY, 36 to 40 inches. This is one of the most rugged

It is hardy anywhere. 75c each; 3 for $2.00, 6 for $3.50 
MONAUREA, 48 to 54 inches. A cross between Aurea and Monnieri, 
which has proved a rugged, hardy, strong growing variety of 
the Spuria type, producing a gigantic flower of deep clear 
yellow. In a damp location, which they prefer, they are said to 
grow 5 to 6 feet tall. $2.00 each; 3 for $5.50, 6 for $10.00 
MONNIERI, 48 inches. A very handsome rich, golden yellow flower, 
very similar to Aurea, but quite hardy. Prefers a moist situa- 
tion. Blooms during June and July

MRS. TAIT. This is a very fine soft porcelain blue Spuria hybrid 
that is quite handsome, free flowering and hardy. Fine for mass 
planting. 75c each; 3 for $2.00, 6 for $3.50 
OCHROLEUCA, 60 inches. This is one of the most glorious of all 
Irises. It is a species from Asia Minor with fine large ivory 
white flowers and a deep orange blotch on the throat. A ma- 
jestic flower that is rugged and hardy and will take care of 
itself anywhere. Fine for naturalizing or for planting at the 
water’s edge, just above the water line, or for mass planting in 
the garden or in some rugged woodland spot.
