THE SIBERIANS 
Graceful and Charming, for Pool-side or Garden. 
Should you not be familiar with the Siberians, and especially 
with the wonderful new varieties, may we urge you to include at 
least 2 or 3 kinds in your order so that you may see for your- 
self how very effective these are in creating garden pictures. 
They are of the easiest culture. Unsurpassed as accent clumps 
in your mixed border, and particularly effective near pools or 
lawns. Can be shipped in summer, but large orders best in the 
fall. The first price given under each variety is for the customary 
single division. We can also supply clumps, equal to 3 divisions, 
for the price of 2. Clumps are easier to establish and give abun- 
dant bloom sooner. 
REDS 
ERIC THE RED (Whitney 1944) 42’. The reddest and the 
very best of all the Siberians. The only Siberian to receive an 
AWARD OF MERIT last year. Immense flowers colored a glow- 
ing wine red, with broad flaring falls. Floriferous and desirable. 
, $10.00; Clump $20.00

Large and exquisite, a real color break. $2.50; Clump $5.00 
*RED EMPEROR (Sturtevant 1924) 24’. Quite unique; wine 
red, veined in blue. Exciting. $1.00; Clump $2.00

Siberians, and we are pleased to offer this very early, free-bloom- 
ing dainty flesh pink. 75c; Clump $1.50 
WHITES 
SNOW CREST (Gage 1932) 38”. You'll not forget this name, 
for SNOWCREST rides the crest of popularity among the white 
Siberians. Large, tall, handsome. $1.50; Clump $3.00 
MATANE (Preston 1937) 30”. One of the finest and most re- 
cent to come from Miss Preston in Canada. A delightful ivory-

OF MERIT. $3.50; Clump $7.00 
*xCOOL SPRING (Kellogg 1940) 30’. Unlike all others, this 
has curved stems that are low and widely branched, reminding

straighter stems in the center. The graceful curve of the stems 
is fittingly repeated in petals. A light pearl blue with a faint 
purple undertone. $2.50; Clump $5.00

CAEZAR’S BROTHER (Morgan 1932) 48°’. Photo on back 
cover. Aside from the rare NIGRESCENS, this is the darkest, and

THREE INTERESTING TYPES OF LOW BEARDED IRIS 
In Order of Blooming — Shipped in Summer and Fall 
THE DWARFS OF THE ROCKERY 
The Early-blooming Dwarfs 
A tribe of midgets that will dwell most naturally among the jagged out- 
crops in your rock garden—or serve as admirably as very low borders any- 
where. We are testing several dozen of these and will offer the best in 
years to come. Rhizomes small. Most Dwarfs have 40 chromosomes. 
PINK 
*MIST O’PINK (Hill-Son 1944) VE—10’'. This new comer 
is indeed welcome, for heretofore we had no first class pink 
among the Dwarfs. A very showy bright rose pink with wide 
extended falls. $2.50; 3 for $6.50 
YELLOW 
*YELLOW FRILLS (Hill 1937) VE—10”. Charmingly frilled. 
The best yellow Dwarf. 50c 
WHITES 
CREAM TART (Hill-Son 1943) VE—9". Tiny, unusual. Frosty 
cream and olive yellow, set off by a red “‘tart’’. Floriferous. 65¢ 
SNOW MAIDEN (Chadwick 1935) VE—10". Best pure white 
Dwarf, like a drift of snow. 50c; 3 for $1.25; 12 for $4.75 
BLUE 
*XREFLECTION (Burchfield 1925) VE—10”. 
blue. Flowers quite large for a Dwarf. 
PURPLE 
*DWARF PURPLE SEEDLING. VE—4’’. Unnamed, but a true 
dwarf, and the earliest bloomer. We use it extensively in our 
rock garden and it gives a blaze of color on Washington's birth- 
day. 35c¢ 
THE INTERMEDIATES 
Important in Garden Planning 
These are intermediate in height between the Dwarfs and the Tall 
Bearded Iris, and are needed in every garden to plant just back of the 
edging of Dwarfs. Technically, true Intermediates usually have 43 or 44 
chromosomes, but to simplify planting plans for you, we include here all 
those of intermediate height, regardless of chromosome number. Blooming 
season is variable, but tends to be intermediate. Other colors available 
in a year or two. Rhizomes often small. 
PINK 
*ROSE PEARL (Salbach 1944) E-M—26". Charming and 
colorful is this bright bitone recently released by Salbach. Pic- 
ture standards in opalescent pink and ivory. Falls in contrast- 
ing deep rose, gilded with gold. Often blooms from early April 
to mid-May. $3.00; 3 for $7.50 
A pretty sky- 
75¢ 

RED 
COPPER ORANGE (Salbach 1941) M—20". It would indeed 
be difficult to name any Iris which is more brilliant than COP- 
PER ORANGE. Standards intense coppery orange; falls closely 
approaching scarlet. Not generally available. $1.50 
YELLOW 
SPRING DELIGHT (Salbach 1940) LM—24". A smaller edition 
of the famous GOLDEN FLEECE. Standards bright yellow; falls 
white, bordered yellow. 35c; 3 for 90c; 12 for $3.25 
WHITE 
*WHITE KNIGHT (Saunders 1916) EM—28”. A free flower- 
ing Iris, snow-white, with a tracery of lilac lines. 35¢; 3 for 90c 
PURPLE 
*PURPLE INTERMEDIATE. E—18’’. Unnamed seedling, but 
so fine we would like to share it with you. 40c; 3 for $1.00 
THE IRIS ELVES 
The Dainty Table Iris 
An entirely distinct and very useful type of Iris, blooming with the 
tall bearded, instead of earlier, as do most low growing kinds. Here the 
ideal is a small flower and a wiry stem; just the thing for table decoration. 
Rhizomes small. 
PINK 
*LA BOHEMIENNE (Millet and Fils 1926). A sprightly pink, 
delightfully blended and penciled. Gay in appearance, with 
wide extended falls. 75c; 3 for $2.00 
REDS

striking that one of our enthusiasts picked this as his favorite of 
all varieties of Iris. Standards bright yellow; falls sharply con- 
trasting dark scarlet. Only a few available. $1.25 
*ZINGARA (Williamson 1928). Novel variegata in orange 
red. 50c
