We wish to thank our many friends for their patronage 
during the past, and hope that we may be of service in 
the future. Our aim is to send only strong, healthy 
plants and to meet all reasonable competition, 
Many of the new yarieties are wonderful creations, 
masterpieces of the highest type, and we commend them 
to your attention. 
In obtaining our collection, we have endeavored to se- 
lect the most attractive iris from hundreds of fine kinds, 
and feel sure our selection affords a good range of color 
from which our patrons can secure a satisfactory collec- 
tion with which to beautify their home gardens and 
grounds. With every order we send out we will send a 
leaflet, ‘‘About Iris,’? which gives some helpful hints 
about the care and propagation of Iris, and also about 
combating some of the pests which bother us by destroy- 
ing much of what we work very hard to grow.

iris has been a strong, and very vigorous growing plant, 
with leayes tall, smooth and strong, and with tall strong 
stems well branched. The huge blooms are well placed, 
and many reach a spread of nineinches. Both standards 
and falls are inclined to curye and have a slight ruffle 
around the edges. The standards have a strong midrib 
and stand straight and almost closed. The falls are semi- 
flaring, drooping enough at the outer edges to give the 
bloom a very artistic appearance. Texture firm. Color, a 
soft shade of rich lavender blue and has a delicate pink- 
ish glow throughout under certain lights, with a light 
area through the center, and the falls are penciled dark- 
er through the haft. The beard is orange at the base, 
shading to lighter at theouter end. Blooms open two to 
four at a time onastem. The plants have withstood 
freezing weather, wind and rain storms as well or better 
than other large iris under same conditions, Blooming 
period around thirty days. Thisis a gracious addition to 
the iris family, and gives a full measure of beauty and 
size and a soft pleasing pacific tone.

Pacific, but many think it is a better iris. It has good fol- 
iage and strong stems and the huge blooms are well 
placed. 
The standards are almost closed and falls are{semi 
flaring and slightly curved which give the blooms an 
artistic appearance, 
Just another lovely addition to the large lavender blue 
kind. Sold out completely last year.

Working among your flowers at least a little each day, 
not enough to tire but just enough for good exercise and 
sunshine, is a splendid way to maintain robust health 
and among your flowers you should have a lot of iris. 
They are easy to grow, and are one of the most satisfac- 
tory flowers.
