POGOCYCLUS IRIS—Continued 
MME. SAVOUILLAN (Denis, 1926), 20 inches. It is extremely diffi- 
cult to give anything like an adequate description of a flower 
of this kind. It is a light colored variety with open ruffled and 
creped standards of very soft clear lavender. The falls are a 
soft blending of light lavender and old gold, both colors being 
just a tint. The falls are deeply veined raisin purple at the throat, 
the veining continuing out over the entire falls, but softening 
beyond the tip of the beard. The styles are a blending of soft 
bronzy lavender and the beard is a dull bronzy yellow. The 
flower is of good size and form and most unusual color. 
$2.50 each, 3 for $6.75, 6 for $12.00 
MONS STREICHEN (Denis, 1922), 15 inches. This is a handsome new 
French hybrid that was recently given an Award of Merit by 
the French National Horticultural Society. The standards are 
iridescent milky white, faintly flushed bluish-lavender and with 
a texture that makes it look like the most delicate porcelain. 
The falls are creamy white with a yellow flush and a deep wine 
red velvety central blotch radiating out into veins of the same 
color. The styles and crests are white, with an indescribable 
blending of all the other colors. An exquisite flower. 
$1.50 each; 3 for $3.75, 6 for $6.00 
NAZARIN, 86-83 (Foster, 1913), 24 inches. This is one of the most 
handsome Iris in this group, both as a show flower and for mass 
effect in the garden, being next to the highest rated one. Wm. 
Mohr is the only one that rates a little higher. Nazarin is a 
flower of large size and perfect shape, with purplish violet 
standards and darker falls, beautifully veined. 
$2.00 each; 3 for $5.50, 6 for $10.00 
PARVAR, 77-72 (Foster, 1909), 20 inches. A most unusual dark 
variety with black violet standards and falls, with a velvety 
sheen. $2.50 each 
SHIRAZ (Foster, 1909), 36 inches. Shiraz and Dorak are somewhat 
similar in form and marking, but Shiraz is reddish toned and 
Dorak bluish toned. The standards of Shiraz are a soft uniform 
bright violet shade, without any veining. The falls are of a 
deeper shade, the color being solid beyond the tip of the beard 
and veined over a white ground over the balance of the petal. 
The falls have a bright narrow blotch just beyond the tips of 
the bluish beard. This variety is equal in size, form and texture 
to the best of our later flowered varieties, besides having the 
unique characteristics of the Pogocyclus Iris. It is an exceed- 
ingly attractive Iris. $2.50 each, 3 for $6.75, 6 for $12.00 
SHIRIN, 85-74 (Foster, 1913), 24 inches. Large standards of soft 
violet; falls purple-violet with narrow deep purple veins; throat 
reticulated white. $5.00 each 
SHUSHAN, 82-81 (Foster, 1913), 20 inches. A most distinct variety 
of fine form, heavy substance and unique coloring. It would be 
hard to imagine a more interesting subject for a sunny loca- 
tion in the rock garden. The erect standards are of bright 
violet purple and the flaring falls are of a velvety dark mahog- 
any. In the sunlight the falls take on a fiery red color. The 
colors in this variety are more or less solid without the intricate 
veining to be found in others of this group, but there is a beau- 
tiful bronze flush at the throat. A burnt orange beard and
