THE WORLD’S FINEST IRISES 

LADY BYNG, 80-83 (Bliss, 1922), 36 inches. This exquisite variety 
sold in 1923 at $50.00 a root, but is now sufficiently plentiful to 
be sold at a moderate price. It is a sister seedling of the famous 
Susan Bliss and out of the same pod. The color is a uniform 
soft ageratum violet and it is one of the most charming vari- 
eties in my entire collection. 
$1.00 each; 3 for $2.75, 6 for $5.00, 100 for $60.00 
LADY LOU, 76-83 (Dean, 1921), 52 inches. FRAGRANT. EARLY. 
This is the earliest tall beaded Iris to bloom, flowering fully 
three weeks ahead of the regular season. It is also one of the 
tallest. The flower is very sweetly scented, very large, of fine 
form and of lovely lavender violet color. It has an unusually 
long flowering season, blooming for four weeks in my garden. 
$1.00 each; 3 for $2.75, 6 for $5.00 
L’AIGLON, 86-87 (Shull, 1926), 38 inches. LATE. This variety (and 
Coppersmith by the same originator—both I believe out of the 
same seed pod) are two of the finest Irises in the world. Both 
varieties, however, are not needed, as they are too similar, but 
either Coppersmith or L’AIGLON will class with Sir Michael 
and Bruno as among the world’s finest Irises. A rich bronzy 
red bicolor. $3.50 each
