THE SPURIA IRIS 
We are very proud of our collection of the Spurias 
for we consider them fully as worth while as the tall 
bearded varieties, being in a class by themselves. 
They are large flowers on tall stems and come into 
bloom much later than other iris. Thus they should be 
in every garden as they make most excellent cut 
flowers. Every flower lover should have at least the 
Monnierri and Ochroleuca, the fine yellow and white 
varieties.

MISCELLANEOUS IRIS 
COQUETRY. 20”. An oncocyclus iris of delicate pink. $3.00 
DOROTHEA WILLIAMSON. 30”. A hybrid of two American spe- 
cies, bearing flowers of a bright royal purple. Profusely branched 
stalks produce a wonderful showing from a single plant. Entirely 
different from any other iris, it makes a wonderful table bouquet 
with a single stalk. It is another iris which should be in every 
garden. 50c; 3 for $1.25 
PSEUDACORUS GIGANTEA. 24”. This is the European Water Iris. 
Rich yellow flowers and hardy anywhere. While used largely 
for growing in water, they also do well and bloom in a dry soil, 
so should be in every garden. 25c; 3 for 60c 

THE SIBERIANS. These have long stems and grass-like foliage. 
While the individual flowers are small, yet they are so numer- 
ous on a stalk, that each stalk appears as a bouquet by itself. 
While the plants do best in a damp soil, they grow and bloom 
well on a dry soil if watered occasionally. The flowers make 
fine bouquets for indoor decoration. Varieties of blue, lavender 
and violet hues which we grow are: Dragonfly, Lady Northcliff, 
Nora Distin, Peggy Perry, Perrv’s Blue and Sanguinea. 
25c each; all six for $1.00 
MOST UNUSUAL HYBRIDS 
These varieties resulted from crossing the bearded iris species 
with the rare Oncocyclus species of Asia Minor, and again crossing 
the resulting hybrids with the bearded species. The flowers are 
entirely different from ordinary iris, and are extremely beautiful 
and odd. Their unusual character makes them a delightful asset 
to any garden. For oddity and beauty, try the Peshawar if you 
wish to get but one. 
35c each; 3 of a kind for 75c.
