COMPLETE LIST OF NEW AND 
STANDARD VARIETIES 

Prices quoted are for single roots unless otherwise noted. The three prices 
apply to three roots of the same variety, not to three different varieties that may 
sell for the same price. It is much quicker and easier to ship three roots of 
one variety than one root of three different varieties that may have to be dug 
in three different gardens, hence the lower price. All orders subject to stock. 
These prices cancel all previous quotations.

A bi-color is an iris that has standards of one shade and falls 
of another, usually considerably darker. A blend, as the name 
indicates, is a suffusion of several colors. A plicata is a light 
colored iris, the edges of which are flushed, lined or dotted with 
color. A self carries the same shade throughout the whole flower. 
A variegata has yellow standards and reddish-brown falls. 
The name of the originator and the year of introduction follow
