GIANT HYBRIDS — These are the large-flowered, named 
“bearded” or “‘German”’ Irises of our gardens. Our seed has

remarkable range of variable color richness, all the bright 
self hues, with pastel harmonies in fawn, lilac, bronze tawnies, 
rose tones, copper and wine shadings. Each seedling will be 
technically a new variety, and some may excel those already 
available in that color range, and so be worth naming and 
propagating. Pkt. 20c; 3 pkts. for 50c. Plants, fine mixture,
