BULBOUS AND TUBEROUS ROOTED IRIS—Continued 
long felt want in the garden. I do not know anywhere else in 
the United States where they are obtainable, and they are 
offered by me subject to release by the United States Depart- 
ment of Agriculture. They are at present being grown under 
government permit, but as they multiply rapidly they will no 
doubt be released for distribution this fall. 
$1.00 each; 3 for $2.75, 6 for $5.00 
ORCHIODES (Juno Type), 10 inches. The foliage of this variety is 
similar to Bucharica, but it is much more dwarf and the color 
is a rich deep yellow. $3.50 each 
PAVONIA. This rare variety is sometimes known as “The Peacock 
Iris,” because the flower somewhat resembles the tip of a Pea- 
cock feather. This is an exquisite little flower for a warm 
sunny pocket in a rock garden, but it is useless to buy less 
than half a dozen or a dozen of them, and I do not quote them 
any other way. They are tiny flowers and the bulbs are no 
bigger than a small marble, and a little clump of them should 
be planted about three inches apart for best effect. The 
ground color varies, running from white to light blue, with a 
green-black or blue-black spot at the base of the petals. The 
form and effect is entirely different from any other Iris. It is 
an Africa spcies. 6 for $3.00, 12 for $5.00, 100 for $35.00 
RETICULATA, 10 inches. A native of the Caucasus. The tiny bulbs 
are best planted in a warm, well-drained location. They bloom 
in the early Spring, just ahead of the Crocus. The color is a 
rich pansy violet with brilliant yellow markings and of pro- 
nounced violet fragrance. $1.00 each 
SINDPERS, 8 inches. An exquisite soft turquoise blue. Very free 
flowering and blooms almost the same time as Reticulata. 
Makes a fine carpeting of flowers, completely covering the bed. 
Cold frame treatment is the best for this variety. $3.50 each 
TUBEROSA (Hermodactylus tuberosa), 12 inches. A very odd, ex- 
ceedingly early, very fragrant variety, with apple green flow- 
ers, having a lip of rich velvety blackish purple. An interest- 
ing variety, entirely hardy and quite different from all others of 
the Iris family. Produces tiny tubers. 
$1.50 each; 3 for $3.75, 6 for $6.00
