THE WORLD’S FINEST IRISES 


VIRGINIA HALE (Bralliar, 1925), 86 inches. A large flower of 
uniform bluebell blue. Described by the originator as an im- 
proved Princess Beatrice. $1.00 each; 3 for $2.75, 6 for $5.00 
WEDGEWOOD, 87-87 (Dykes, 1923), 42 inches. The richest “Wedge- 
wood China” blue, of uniform color throughout. The flowers are 
large and there is an unusually striking white beard. $5.00 each 
WHITE AND GOLD (Nicholls, 1928), 37 inches. A large pure glisten- 
ing satiny white without marking of any kind; flaring falls; 
brilliant golden beard. $3.50 each 
WHITE QUEEN, 81-81, 33 inches. LATE. The purest white Iris in 
cultivation, the standards, falls, styles and even the beard being 
a pure snow white. A flower of good substance and exquisitely 
dainty; free flowering, dependable and healthy. One of the best 
whites. 50c each; 3 for $1.25, 6 for $2.00, 100 for $25.00 
WHITE STAR (Nicholls, 1928), 37 inches. Pure white, without any 
marking; yellow beard; flaring falls; fine texture. 
$1.50 each; 3 for $3.75, 6 for $6.00 
WILD ROSE, 80-80 (Sturt., 1921), 36 inches. FRAGRANT. A very 
lovely soft Wild Rose pink tone with a white undertone. The 
flower is of fine form and smooth satiny texture. Produces a 
tiny rhizome, but a very lovely flower. 
75¢c each; 3 for $2.00, 6 for $3.50 
WOODLAND (Hall, 1925), 48 inches. Very fine bright Chinese violet 
self flowers of gigantic size on stout erect stalks. $4.50 each 
W. R. DYKES (Dykes, 1926), 48 inches. This is a gigantic flower, 
claimed to be the largest yellow introduced to date, but it is 
not a clear yellow, as it has some lavender splashes. It is not 
of the most rugged constitution, although my plants have come 
along nicely without any loss in the protection of a cold frame, 
and I recommend such treatment for our Northern States. It 
should prove quite hardy in the South and has proven to be 
rugged on the Pacific Coast. Owing to its gigantic size it is 
probably of great value for breeding purposes, as it is said to 
be an abundant seeder and to bear fertile pollen. $50.00 each 
YELLOW MOON, 85-85 (Sturt., 1923), 30 inches. LATE. A charming 
soft yellow, lighter than Shekinah, almost a creamy white. 
Large flowers of fine form and substance on stout erect stems. 
Very free flowering. $1.00 each; 3 for $2.75, 6 for $5.00 
YEOMAN, 83-85 (Bliss, 1922), 36 inches. A very fine “Dominion” 
seedling with soft violet standards and satiny mulberry falls. 
Exceptional substance. $1.00 each; 3 for $2.75, 6 for $5.00 
ZADA, 78-81 (Emig., 1926). 34 inches. A very free flowering white 
Iris that has been greatly admired in my gardens during the 
past two seasons. It makes a very fine mass effect in the 
garden. $1.50 each; 3 for $3.75, 6 for $6.00 
ZULU, 85-85 (Bliss, 1925). An exceedingly rich Iris of the “Domin- 
ion” race, being a sister seedling of Swazii. Standards rich 
aniline blue; falls velvety purple. $5.00 each
