eApogan Irises 
Louisiana Iris and Washington Hybrids 
This group includes new and rare Louisiana irises, and 
hybrids produced by Mr. T. A. Washington of Nashville, 
Tennessee. The Louisiana varieties are mostly collected 
plants, and I have tried to credit these to the persons that 
registered them with the A. I. S. These bloom after the 
bearded irises and are a great addition to any garden. They 
are especially recommended for pool edge and half shady 
places in the garden. All of these have been tested for 
hardiness in New England. 
ABBEVILLE REDS These are collected plants, and are in 
varying shades of red. I am fascinated by their unique form 
and great beauty. The styles are roundly curved and re- 
semble a quill with the stamen peeping out from the center. 
Most of the flowers have recurving petals and sepals that 
show the “quilled” styles to great advantage. The blooms 
are rich in color and very handsome. Tall with good 
branching. $4.00

New Orleans. An especially pleasing hybrid of clear orchid 
tone; tall, well branched. 34 in. $2.00

cardinal-scarlet opening out almost flat with long narrow

with all colors. 30 in. $3.50 
MARINGOUIN FULVA This Beardless iris was found near 
Maringouin, Louisiana. A large yellow fulva that is excep- 
tional for its deep yellow color and the size of flower when
