Iris Germanica - Fleur de Lis 
Alta California. It is the tallest of all the

recognized as being the ‘‘spark’’ that brings 
out the fullest beauty of any Iris garden 
and Alta California serves this purpose to 
perfection. 48 in. 
Buechley’s Giant. Early. An Iris giant in size 
and height and one of the ten largest and 
best. Huge, brilliant flowers of perfect form 
in a soft to medium blue effect. 50 in. 
Coppersmith. A very tall and robust-growing 
Iris. Not a new variety but worthy of a 
place in the garden because of its freedom 
of bloom, large rich copper-bronze flowers, 
and good foliage.

the medium tall reds of its color shade and 
blooms earlier than most when good “red’’ 
Iris are scarce. Bronzy violet standards with 
falls of Dahlia-carmine. 32 in.

Venus de Milo. Gigantic new white. Considered 
by many as the best white. A perfect flower 
in every way. 36 in.

Iris, this unusual hybrid is the most distinct 
variety grown. The ground-color is pale lilac, 
standards flushed darker, the whole flower 
beautifully veined manganese-violet. Stems 
strong and rigid, 20 to 24 inches.

the reason that it flowers about 2 weeks

is a striking deep green and very graceful.
