THE WORLD’S FINEST IRISES 

NEMO (Cayeux, 1927), 48 inches. This VERY SWEETLY SCENTED 
variety was awarded a Certificate of Merit by the French 
National Horticultural Society. The color is a very pleasing 
metallic blue self, enhanced by a conspicuous bright yellow 
beard. It is very free flowering, a vigorous grower and quite 
fascinating. $5.00 each 
NENE (Cayeux, 1928), 36 inches. This is the largest and most stun- 
ning Iris introduced to date, the individual flowers measuring 
nine to ten inches long and as handsome as they are large. The 
standards are clear soft lilac and the falls are of a reddish 
tone. The texture of the petals is very heavy and in proportion 
to the gigantic size of the flower. It is free flowering and the 
flowers are nicely placed on stout erect flowering stalks. 
$50.00 each 
NINE WELLS, 77-79 (Foster, 1919), 42 inches. This fine Iris was 
named by the famous hybridizer, Sir Michael Foster, in honor 
of his home town of Nine Wells. Without this explanation, it 
seems rather an odd name for an Iris. It is a strikingly rich 
flower with light lavender violet standards and velvety pansy 
violet falls. 50c each; 3 for $1.25, 6 for $2.00, 100 for $25.00 
ODAROLOC, 90-82 (Andrews, 1924), 40 inches. This is one of the 
highest rated varieties in the new Iris symposium. A pure self 
color of soft mauve to lobelia violet. 
$1.00 each; 3 for $2.75, 6 for $5.00 
ODENVOGEL (G. & K., 1927), 36 inches. Color same as Thrudwang, 
but with a wide border of primrose yellow on the falls to match 
the standards. An even larger flower than Thrudwang and of 
perfect form. $2.50 each; 3 for $6.75, 6 for $12.00 
ODETTE OLIVET (Nonin, 1922), 32 inches. EARLY. This is a very 
lovely soft orchid pink toned Iris. It seems to be entirely un- 
known in this country, but it is a most charming variety, which 
will be greatly admired when better known. 
$1.50 each; 3 for $3.75, 6 for $6.00; 100 for $85.00 
OLD GOLD (H. P. Sass, 1929). LATE. This is one of Mr. Sass’s 
most attractive new varieties. The name is most appropriate, 
as the color is a distinctive old gold blend. The standards are 
ruffled and the flower is of fine form and substance. 
$1.50 each; 3 for $3.75, 6 for $6.00 
OLD IVORY, 78-83 (Sturt., 1924), 832 inches. The name for this variety 
is particularly well chosen, as the color is soft “Old Ivory.” 
It has a bright orange beard and lemon yellow styles; falls 
beautifully striped golden brown at the throat. A very hand- 
some variety with flowers of good size and perfect shape. 
$1.50 each; 3 for $3.75, 6 for $6.00, 100 for $75.00 
OLIVE MURRELL, 83-84 (Perry, 1924). VERY SWEETLY 
SCENTED. A magnificent, tall growing, large flowered variety, 
of unusual coloring, which might almost be described as a 
greatly improved Quaker Lady. Standards deep lavender rose, 
shot with bronze; falls rich lavender blue, shot rose and bronze. 
The rich buttercup yellow beard and styles light up the flower 
in a most beautiful manner. $5.00 each
