Buto — A very large flower of deep coloring.

purple to velvety blackish violet. Fine in mass. 
Early. 
Depute Nomblot — 48 in. Winner of the Dykes Memorial 
Medal, Highest International Honors. Has been called the 
finest Iris in the world. Of gigantic size and perfect form 
and texture on tall, nicely branched stemsS—coppery-red, 
flushed golden bronze; F—rich claret crimson. The entire 
flower seems to be lightly dusted with fine golden powder, 
giving it an usual richness, 
Easter Morn — 48 in... Early, Very fragrant... Given an 
Award of Merit by the American Iris Society. Very large 
flowers of pure sparkling white, with a satiny sheen and a 
glowing yellow center. Full flaring falls and a flower of 
perfect form and good substance that sets a new high stand- 
ard for white Irises. 
Frieda Mohr — 42 in. Early Fragrant. A deep pink Iris 
of gigantic size and perfect form, the huge flowers being 
seven inches across. FRIEDA MOHR IE A CONSTANT 
PRIZE-WINNER WHEREVER ZIT IS EXHIBITED and 
has undoubtedly won more first prizes than any other Iris. 
It has deservedly been the most popular pink toned Iris in 
my collection for several seasons. Nothing new has ap- 
peared that is equal to it in its class; in fact there is no 
other Iris like it. Besides huge flowers, perfect form, ex- 
quisite color, and aristocratic bearing, it also has a delicious 
Locust Fragrance, being one of the most fragrant of all 
Tris. Besides all this it has a very long flowering season, 
flowering with the earliest and continuing to flower with 
the latest of this group. Sold a few years ago at $25.00 for 
a single plant, it is nowwith in the reach of all flower lovers. 
Rameses — 42 in. Winner of the Dykes Memorial Medal, 
Highest International Honors, this Medal being s%*en to 
the one best Iris of the year in England, France and America. 
Rameses is a perfect flower in every way, in a blending of 
Tourmaline Pink and soft yellow, with a pronounced yellow 
glow at the center. A magnificent Iris now available in 
fine strong rhizomes at a very low price. 
Santa Barbara — 40 in. This fine American introduction 
had the distinction of receiving an award of merit from the 
Royal Horticultural Society of England. It is one of the 
finest of the pure lavender-blues, of gigantic size and perfect 
form. It must be seen to be appreciated. 
Sir Michael — 48 in. I consider this one of the world’s 
finest Irises, of indescribable beauty. The standards are 
clera, heliotrope and the falls rich red-purple, suffused cop- 
pery-brown, but no color description can do it justice and it 
has been the despair of artists who have tried to reproduce 
it. Sold a few years ago for $50.00 for a single plant. 
Vert Gallant — 50 in. Winner of the Dykes Memorial 
Medal. Highest International Honors. It is the most pro- 
digious bloomer of any Iris I have ever seen, producing 4 
to 5 flowering stalks to a single rhizome. As a garden mass 
or individual flower it is unexcelled.
