REFULGENCE (Wayman, 1930), 40 inches. (Formerly named 
RHAPSODY, but it was necessary to change the name as I 
found the name RHAPSODY had already been appropriated.) 
This variety has attracted a great deal of attention in my 
gardens for the past four years. Every Iris authority and Iris 
“fan” who has seen it has enthused about it, and I personally 
feel that it is one of the most attractive Irises in my gardens. It 
has one valuable feature in being the first to be introduced of a 
group of late blooming seedlings, which will prolong the bearded 
Iris season for about two weeks, this variety being in full bloom 
after other bearded Iris in the garden have finished flowering. 
It is an exceedingly rich flower of gigantic size, on tall, stout, 
erect stems and is a prodigious bloomer. The form is unusual, 
l one of the charms of this variety being the open cup-shaped 
standards which display a beautifully veined throat, and even 
those who are usually opposed to this form are greatly im- 
pressed by the beauty of this variety. Personally I do not 
believe that any one form should be the standard of perfection. 
The standards are light violet-blue with bronzy shadings towards 
the claw and along the lower edge of the petals. The falls are 
deep velvety violet-purple, with a beautifully veined white 
throat. The styles are amber, with crests the color of the 
standards, and the beard is of bronzy yellow. The falls, which 
are semi-flaring, measure 7 inches from tip to top and the 
flowering stalk is 40 inches high. It makes a magnificent garden 
clump and the individual flower is very fine. $10.00 each 
WHITE BIRD (Wayman, 1931), 33 inches. A very lovely variety, 
with ivory white standards and pure white flaring falls, with 
throat prominently veined manganese violet-purple out as far 
as the tip of the beard. Soft amber styles, and beard of the 
same color. A flower of fine form and heavy waxy substance 
and excellent lasting qualities. $10.00 each

AARESHORST (G. & K., 1927). A rich dark variety of much merit, 
with standards of ageratum violet and falls of dark velvety 
nigrosin violet, edged a lighter shade. There is a bronzy 
blending at the throat in both standards and falls, with a deep 
orange beard that gives a most attractive effect. A flower of 
good form and ample size. $2.00 each; 3 for $5.50, 6 for $10.00 
ABENDA, 79-81 (Perry, 1923), 46 inches. Standards—soft rose,

some flower. $1.00 each; 3 for $2.50 
ACHATES (Perry, 1923), 44 inches. EARLY. FRAGRANT. A fine 
early rich red toned variety. Somewhat similar to Tenebrae, 
but much larger. $2.00 each; 3 for $5.00, 6 for $9.00 
AEGIR (G. & K., 1927). Another new introduction of Goos & Koene- 
mann. A white bi-color, of which there are so few really desir- 
able sorts. The standards are clear white and the falls deep 
crimson. $2.50 each
