THE IRIS OF WINTER 
Stylosa, or Unguicularis 
Truly unique among Iris, for they bloom in the late fall and 
throughout the winter in all milder regions not continously 
covered with snow. A real treat at these seasons, both in the 
garden and for table decoration. Flowers of great delicacy and 
refinement. Foliage grass-like and evergreen, attractive 
throughout the year. Flower ‘’stems’’ somewhat short, about 
8’, and on old unattended clumps the flowers may be partly 
hidden in the foliage. This may be prevented by heavily cutting 
back the foliage in September, allowing the flowers to come out 
above the attractive new leaves. A strange feature of this 
plant is that what appears to be flower stems are not stems at 
all, but elongated perianth tubes. In addition to the 4 forms 
listed, we are propagating 2 very rare types for release as soon 
as our stock is adequate: Stylosa Pink; Stylosa Orchid Striped. 
Shipped in summer or fall.

December, but it is imperative to order now before stock is 
exhausted.

ducing more flowers than the usual round ones.

STYLOSA. This is the common lavender-blue form that is so 
widely grown. Recommended where price must be considered, 
such as in mass plantings. While: it seems very attractive by 
itself, it suffers by comparison with the new improved form 
listed next. 50c, 3 for $1.00; 12 for $3.00 
LARGE FLOWERED STYLOSA. Flowers 4 to 5 inches across, 
nearly twice the size of the common form. Color bright lavender- 
blue, with fine veins of deeper lavender. This is not a ‘’pogan”’ 
Iris, so it has no beard; instead there is a deep yellow signal 
patch. Very fragrant. We predict that you will be delighted 
with this improved variety. $1.25, ‘3 for $3.25 
DEEP LAVENDER STYLOSA. Similar to the common form, but 
more richly colored, being a deep lavender, almost violet. The 
plant has exceptionally slender leaves. 75c, 3 for $2.00
