There Are 
1,400 varieties of Bearded Iris in our Exhibition Iris 
Gardens, Scat fs 
Many of these varieties we have in our fields in 
large quantity and thus offer you the following won- 
dertul collections. — ; 
Every collection is made up of outstanding Iris varie- 
ties that are not only beautiful but they have aitrac- 
tive plant and flower personality. 
An Ivis garden in bloom flashes a magnificence of light and color 
beyond the power of words to express. 
The French botanist Tournefort nearly 300 years ago named the 
Iris the “Rainbow Flower.’” A rainbow is beautiful but it never 
changes. Its curve is always the same. Its seven colors are always 
equally spread, varying only in density to agree with the quantity 
of rain drops. . 
But the hues, tints and shades of colors vary in the Iris with each 
of its more than seven thousand named varieties. No other flower 
equals this great dispersal of color. Nor does any other flower ap- 
proach its eapacity to blend so many colors on an individual bloom. 
Artists and botanists agree that the Iris Shah Jehan (in this col- 
lection) displays seven colors blended on its petals.

Autumn Flowering—$1.33 for $1 
“T love the nice things you say in ‘Iris News’ about flowers. And, 
it seems that your ‘We Are Immortal’ may have been written to give 
me a lift. You see the doctors give me only a short time to live (In- 
eurable cancer). They say I may live longer by staying in bed. But I 
cannot forsake the pleasures of my garden and the fiowers. I’ve been 
sick two years but I spend every hour possible in the garden tending 
the flowers for I have a peace and happiness there by finding some- 
thing near to God in every beautiful flower. 
“Thank you for your inspiring and comforting words in ‘We Are 
Immortal’ for they mean more to me every time I read them.”
