THE WORLD’S FINEST IRISES on 
eS 

GRACE WAYMAN (Wayman, 1931), 30 inches. A flower of perfect 
form, large size, fine texture and unusual brilliant violet color- 
ing, no other Iris comparing with it in brilliancy. In fact it 
makes the richest Iris look dull by comparison. By Ridgway’s 
color chart the standards and crests are a lovely shade of 
lavender-violet and the flaring falls are the most brilliant 
pansy-violet, with a white throat veined the color of the falls. 
The standards are arching cupped, just open enough to display 
a very beautiful throat. Having no Dominion, or Ricardi or 
Mesopotamica blood this variety is hardy and a rugged grower, 
very free flowering and a good propagator. Has a long flower- 
ing season and withstands the weather well. $10.00 each 
MRS. ILTIS (Fryer, 1925). While this variety was originated by the 
late Mr. Fryer in 1925, it has never become generally distrib- 
uted and is practically unknown to the public. Having had the 
distinction of being given an Award of Merit by the Council of 
the Royal Horticultural Society of England after a trial at 
Wisley, I negotiated with Mrs. Fryer regarding the purchase 
of the entire stock, which I have done at a price that will enable 
me to introduce it to the public at a very modest price for such 
a gem. The color is Wisteria Blue and it is a very large, self 
colored flower of the finest form and a prodigious bloomer, be- 
sides being a late flowering variety. 
$2.50 each; 3 for $6.75, 6 for $12.00 
PEERESS (Wayman, 1930). This is a sister seedling of Refulgence, 
but Peeress is decidedly blue toned, whereas Refulgence is 
decidedly red toned. The silky standards are of bright violet 
blue coloring and the falls are brilliant velvety pansy violet 
with a white throat, which is beautifully veined bronze out to- 
wards the tip of the deep orange beard. There is a hair line 
of lighter color down the centre of the falls. The form is sim- 
ilar to Refulgence and the open standards disclose a beautifully 
marked throat. The styles are ivory, with crests the color of 
the standards. It is a very large flower, free flowering, on tall 
erect stems. $10.00 each 
PIRATE GOLD (Wayman, 1931), 34 inches. A fine, large, uniform 
deep yellow flower, the standards, falls, styles and crests being 
the same deep rich coloring and having a brilliant orange 
beard; light brownish reticulations at the throat. Many flowers 
open at one time. The standards are domed and the falls are 
flaring. As good as Goldilocks, but an entirely different type of 
flower, being an improvement on the Coronation or Nebraska 
type. $25.00 each 
REDLIGHT (Wayman, 1931), 28 inches. An exceedingly fine rich 
velvety burgundy red toned Iris, of gigantic size, perfect form 
and heavy substance, remaining in good condition throughout 
the stormiest weather that destroys other Irises. I do not 
know of any other Iris that is more perfect in form or sub- 
stance, or of more attractive coloring. $10.00 each
