THE WORLD’S FINEST IRISES 


PAVANE (Cayeux, 1925), 36 inches. VERY FRAGRANT. LATE. 
This new French introduction is a unique red toned _ variety, 
with standards of Bordeaux red tinted copper and violet; falls 
garnet red. These late blooming varieties are valuable for ex- 
tending the Iris season. A fine flower. $7.50 each 
PEAU ROUGE, 78-82 (Cayeux, 1923), 30 inches. A distinctive new 
color in Iris, there being no other Iris of this color. The stand- 
ards are soft old rose, flushed bronze, and the flaring falls are a 
deep rich velvety red, very slightly flushed bronze. The ex- 
quisitely marked throat is quite prominent owing to the open 
standards; rich orange beard. A clump of this gives a stunning 
garden effect. $1.50 each; 3 for $3.75, 6 for $6.00 
PEERLESS, 91-89 (Dykes, 1924), 42 inches. A magnificent flower of 
exceedingly brilliant coloring, the effect being a rich, glowing, 
mahogany red. The flower is of gigantic size, the standards 
measuring 3% inches long and 3 inches wide, while the falls 
measure 4% inches x 3% inches. $7.50 each 
PEGASE (Vilm., 1926), 30 inches. Fine large flowers with standards 
of bright violet and velvety falls of bright violet purple. 
Styles yellow, with violet median line. 
$2.50 each; 3 for $6.75, 6 for $12.00 
PEGGY BABBINGTON (Mindeleff, 1929). FALL BLOOMING. This 
fine yellow Iris is like Chalice in color. The originator tells me 
that for seven years it has bloomed as freely in Autumn as in 
Spring. It should therefore be quite an addition to our gradually 
accumulating collection of Fall Blooming varieties. $10.00 each 
PENDRAGON (Bliss, 1920), 36 inches. A fine “Dominion” seedling of 
a uniform deep violet purple color. A large flower of fine form 
and substance. $5.00 each 
PERLADONNA, 77-82 (Perry, 1923), 40 inches. This very free flower- 
ing variety is one of the most striking of all the deep blue toned 
Irises and gives a wonderfully brilliant blue garden effect. Un- 
surpassed as a landscape variety. 
75c each; 3 for $2.00, 6 for $3.50 
PETREL, 76-83 (Mohr, 1922), 32 inches. A fine large flower of good 
form and very free flowering. Standards amethyst violet; falls 
rich pansy violet, edged lavender. 
75c each; 3 for $2.00, 6 for $3.50 
PFAUENFEDER (G. & K., 1928), 15 inches. A “Variegata’”’ or yellow 
bicolor which produces small dainty flowers on 15-inch stems. 
Of possible value in the rock garden or for the front of the 
border. The standards are bright yellow; falls violet blue, edged 
bright yellow. An especially rich pleasing color. $1.50 each 
PHRYNE (Cayeux, 1925). A magnificent hybrid of Mme. Durrand 
and Lord of June, producing a beautiful blend effect. 
$3.50 each; 3 for $9.00, 6 for $15.00 
PIONEER, 89-90 (Bliss, 1924), 42 inches. This is one of the most mar- 
velous Irises in cultivation. The color is the most effective bril- 
liant red purple. Just five years ago it was listed at $35. Even 
now it costs considerably more than my price to import it, with 
all the inconvenience attached to importing plants. 
$1.50 each; 3 for $3.75, 6 for $6.00
