IRIS 
GAR DiIENS 


THE RED DOUGLAS A magnificent iris. A vibrant 
red of rich plush-like quality. Rich, rosy wine red solid 
to the haft. It is not the reddest iris but rather a sterling, 
gorgeously rich, deep dark red. Critics agree it is one of the 
finest iris we have. $1.25 
THE SENTINEL A brilliant copper-orange iris, like a 
piece of highly polished copper. It is bunched but the 
ae of color makes it sought after in spite of this 
fault. 
THELMA JEAN A production from New England. A 
rich self shade of petunia violet with ideal stiff, upright 
standards; crisp, broad, straight hanging falls. Early flower- 
ing, branched stalks; very pretty and a novel coloring we 
recommend. $2.00 
THEODOLINDA This is a larger plicata than Los An- 
geles. The flowers are satiny white with button-hole 
stitchings of bright yet delicate blue. Very hardy and a 
vigorous grower. 50c 
THREE SISTERS Primrose yellow standards and crim- 
son lake falls, sort of midway between a variegata and a 
white and rose amoena. Slightly tender. $5.00 
TIFFANY Gaily painted yellow plicata. It has rose, or 
deep pink stitching on a yellow background. The pattern 
is a most pleasing one. There is a freshness about this yel- 
low plicata that makes it one of our favorites among the 
yellow plicatas. 75c; 3 for $2.00 
TISHOMINGO An out of the ordinary iris. A large, clear 
wisteria blue ranking as one of the best. A flower of 
crispness, firm substance and texture. $10.00 
TOBACCO ROAD Stiff, horizontal flaring flower with 
rigid upright standards give this iris a crisp effect. A 
unique color, a golden tobacco brown, a lighter shade than 
most brown iris. $12.00 
TREASURE ISLAND A massive flower of a rich shade 
of vivid yellow. The pure golden tones are untarnished 
by any flaw of flecking that appears as a shortcoming in 
others at times. Tall stems, moderately branched, hardy, 
it is a highly meritorious variety. 50c; 3 for $1.25 
VALIANT A rich blue blend of electrifying blue punc- 
tuated and edged iridescent old gold with a strong orange 
beard. 50c 
VARESE A brilliant red-purple of fine globular form. A 
vigorous grower and very effective in the mass, lovely 
color. 50c 
VATICAN PURPLE A sonorous and imposing purple 
self. It is rich and majestic, quite broadly built with 
heavy substance. Quite late blooming it looks as if it will 
prove to be a valuable addition to our deep violet class. 
$5.00 
VESTAL BEAUTY Absolute starch white except for an 
orange beard. Free flowering and heavily substanced, 
we introduced this iris as a rock bound, hardy white. 
$2.00 
VIOLET CROWN While there are many fine blue iris 
and several excellent pinks of recent origin, there are, 
curiously enough, very few varieties in the intermediate 
shades of lavender or mauve. One of the few outstanding 
iris of this color is Violet Crown, a deep toned lilac with a 
rich, glistening texture. 75¢ 
VIOLET SYMPHONY A gleaming lilac-mauve self, the 
individual blooms have a finished appearance as if pre- 
cisely carved. A splendid iris whose quiet beauty ranks it 
near the top of its class. $5.00 
WABASH Fresh toned as any orchid is this amoena with 
snowy white standards and ultramarine falls with brighter 
margining. The best of the true amoenas and destined to 
enjoy great popularity. $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
WAKARUSA Brilliant and vivid, a striking orange and 
bright red. In effect a burnt orange bicolor with velvety 
falls. As brilliant and colorful an iris as we grow in the 
garden, always the center of attraction. This iris is far 
superior to many similarly colored varieties. A notable color 
break. $6.00 
WASATCH Probably the largest plicata. A very broad- 
petaled white flower with even markings of medium blue. 
Substance is excellent. 30c 
WEST POINT A beautifully poised, refined indigo blue 
with falls more intensely indigo with brownish cast at the 
haft. Wide, well formed blooms, late blooming; a magnifi- 
cent iris. $2.00 
WHITE CITY Immense flowers of silken blue-white with 
a flush of plumbago blue around the heart of its stiff, 
stalwart bloom. Crisp finish and ice cold effect of the blooms 
is very striking. $5.00 
WHITE GODDESS Statuesque white, beautiful domed 
standards. Both standards and falls lightly ruffled. Large 
flower whose glistening white blooms and yellow beard are 
borne on tall sturdy stalks. 75c 
WHITE SAMITE A virginal white, not large but with 
a charm that is distinguished. The flowers flare grace- 
fully, the petals are heavily substanced. An altogether 
pleasing white. $2.50 
WHITE WEDGEWOOD 4A large white of smooth and 
unusual character. Freshly opened blossoms betray a slight 
bluish cast soon paling to a cool white. There is an effec- 
tive contrast provided by a dark blue beard that gives this 
flower a novel appearance: $15.00 
WILLIAM A. SETCHELL One of the giant iris blooms: 
Simply gargantuan violet self. Surprisingly good sub- 
stance for such a mammoth flower. Heavy branched stems. 
$1.25 
WINNESHIEK One of the finest in the dark-blue color 
section with segments unusually broad and lustrous. A 
touch of ruffling augments its graceful form. Winneshiek is 
one of the few iris with a lighter margin on the falls, a fea- 
ture which lends a distinctive touch. 25c; 3 for 60c 
WINTER CARNIVAL The outstanding flaring white- 
As unique in form as it is pure in color, tall snow white. 
One of the most beautiful white iris. The pronounced flare 
of the stiffly-substanced flower reminds one of a piece of 
stiffly starched material. Flowers are very large, nicely 
proportioned giving the flower the feeling of elaborate 
styling. A lavish gold throat regally caps its pure beauty. 
An iris that has met with high praise and one that is very 
hardy. $4.00 
WILLIAM MOHR As different an iris as one can have 
—a huge, exotic lavender closely netted over-all with a 
fine purple veining. Grow this iris in the hottest spot you 
have, selecting a well-drained area and working a few lime- 
stone chips into the soil. 35c; 3 for 90c
