New and Unusual ris 
BANDMASTER Vigorous growing, free blooming, large 
flowers of good substance and a nice medium blue color 
which holds up unusually well. Considered by some experts 
to be one of the bluest iris. $7.50 
BRIGHT MELODY A lovely iris of rich concord grapes 
coloring attracting much favorable attention. Flowers 
are not large but very lusciously colored and the form and 
finish are excellent. $5.00 
CHICORY BLUE Large chicory blue self with closely 
domed standards and broad flaring falls. This is a much 
talked of iris from Nashville. $20.00 
DOWN EAST Coming from the rock bound coast of 
Maine, we expect this iris will be a welcome addition to 
our iris collection. One of the darkest, yet glowing, purples 
with very rich falls because of their extremely velvety sur- 
face. A deep but brilliant iris. $10.00 
DREAMCASTLE A beautiful orchid pink iris. The flower 
is full — beautiful domed standards and full, rounded 
falls. This flower has an extraordinary full billowy effect. 
As it blossomed last season it brought in a single step the 
loveliness of the orchid pink coloring into the perfection of 
other modern iris. Branching is not the best, nevertheless, 
it is a remarkable iris. $10.00 
EXTRAVAGANZA Anew amoena of cream white stand- 
ards and falls of iridescent copper, red, lavender and deep 
violet. A descendant of Shah Jehan, it is somewhat similar 
in general color but much larger and superior to its prede- 
cessor. We await its performance with interest. $30.00 
FIRECRACKER There are several new colors being ob- 
tained in the plicata novelty class that await appraisal. 
Firecracker is a glowing dark burgundy red plicata with a 
yellow trim, a color combination that sounds snappy and 
brisk. It should enjoy a prominent position in the garden. 
$5.00 
FRANCELIA Bright clear yellow rated in the East as 
one of the finest new yellows. A bright chrome with 
roundly domed standards and semi-flaring falls enlivened 
by a rich, heavy beard. Characterized by unusually fine 
form, color and finesse. $15.00 
GARDEN GLORY A pure enameled, rich bordeaux red; 
the most stylish of the new reds combining the best qual- 
ities of its parents, The Red Douglas and Garden Magic. 
Lustrously finished, beautifully textured, an iris that indeed 
can be said to be a personality. $10.00 
HARRIET THOREAU An individual orchid pink self, 
delightful and substantial, splendidly textured. Paul 
Cook’s Dreamcastle is one of the finest new iris and this 
seedling of somewhat the same general class gives great 
promise. $10.00 
JASMINE A smooth golden yellow without brown or 
orange tones. When compared with other top notch yel- 
lows, Jasmine gave them a duller, more greenish tone. 
Gardenia-textured on tall, well branched stalks. $30.00 
JASPER AGATE A master stroke of rich, jewel-like col- 
oring. A faultless medly of gold and copper red with an 
underlying copper pink tone. An unusual coalition of color 
assembled with consummate skill. One of the newer iris 
colors, a real break with beautiful lacquer-like finish without

authorities. 
LADY MOHR Melodramatic new hybrid out of Wm. 
Mohr. Embodies the exotic charm of the oncocyclus iris 
more than other onco-pogons. Large flowers, beautifully 
rounded, standards oyster white, falls a shade of cream 
yellow near chartreuse the base of which radiates a lovely 
large red-violet blotch adding much to the beauty of the 
flower. Very weather resistant. $30.00 
LAMPLIGHT Tranquil beautiful soft blend. A flesh-buff 
self with a lamplight glow. The flower possesses lots of 
style and is lovely because its color is softly and deftly 
combined in a harmonious whole. This lovely blend is very 
heavily substanced, much more so than most of this color- 
ing. It is about the smoothest colored iris of this class. 
$12.00 
MANDALAY A smooth reddish rose self. A new and at- 
tractive color that has been much admired. The stand- 
ards are domed and the falls flare; medium sized flowers. 
Very highly praised by the iris enthusiasts who have viewed 
1c $5.00 
MARY CLOTILDE Large light blue of perfect semi- 
flaring form on tall, well branched stems. Falls broad, 
evenly colored, no veining even at the haft. Cool white 
beard. If this iris equals its performance of last season it 
will be one of the good new blues. $10.00 
MISTY GOLD Some iris are loud and brilliant in the 
garden. Others are entrancing with their delicacy and 
winsomeness. Such an iris is Misty Gold a ‘lilting, crinkle- 
petaled, lemon-toned iris with a gold braiding along the 
perimeter of the petals giving a most effective foil to the 
cool soft lemon cream shadings in the center of the flower. 
It is the first of the cool toned yellows to have breath and 
primness in its carriage. Fluted and revolute it will delight 
the stylist with its sculptured-like blooms. $10.00 
MOONLIGHT MADONNA Best characterized as an 
improved Elsa Sass. A cool lemony yellow self with only 
the slightest hint of green in its dulcet tones. Full formed, 
medium large flowers, coldly chaste. An exquisite iris which 
we blossomed last Spring and consider most promising. 
$7.50 
OLA KALA This is one of the best deep yellows, rich in 
color, brilliant in effect. It has been criticized as being a 
little slow to open and slightly irregular. Its outstanding 
quality is its gorgeous deep yellow coloring with a slight 
orange cast. $15.00 
RANGER Dark and brilliant, new crimson-red Ranger 
has been compared to many of the other red iris each 
with its differences noted. It has been likened to Red Amber, 
too, a deep rose-red, so this iris’s blossoming next Spring 
will be most interesting to us. $7.50 
ROYAL SCOT Tall, large flowered heavily marked, red 
trimmed plicata of a pleasing tone of burgundy red. It 
is so heavily trimmed that at a distance it gives a red effect. 
Tall, good substance, fair branching. $7.50 
RUSSET MANTLE Withdrawn this season for stock 
propagation. 
SNOW VELVET An excellent very velvety textured iris 
with exceptional weather resistance. Possesses a gardenia- 
like texture which is unusual in the white class. $5.00
