BEARDED IRIS—Continued 
President Pilkington Each 50c, Three $1.25, Doz. $4.00 
Large, of bold form, well-branched, many buds to stalk, and medium 
tall. Standards vinaceous buff underlaid old gold, with falls of soft violet 
faintly edged silvery brown. The elegant dignity of this gives it a 
charm that is difficult to describe. Midseason. 40 inches. 
Rameses Each 40c, Three $1.00, Doz. $3.50 
Winner of the Dykes Medal for 1932. A lovely blend of soft yellow and 
tourmaline-pink, the flower being suffused with a yellow glow at the 
center. A perfect flower in every way. 
San Diego Each 55c, Three $1.45, Doz. $4.75 
One of the finest medium-dark blues. A gigantic Iris of heavy sub- 
stance and fine flaring form and compelling appearance. Tall and 
vigorous. Early midseason. 40 inches. 
Shah Jehan Each 60c, Three $1.50, Doz. $5.00 
A multi-colored Iris with 7 distinct colors, but a flower of the greatest 
refinement notwithstanding its lavish colors. It is considered by many 
as one of the greatest achievements of Iris development. Standards, soft 
creamy buff, flushed soft lavender and suffused gray, fading to almost 
pure white as the flower ages. Falls, deep, rich ruby-red, with a Vg-inch 
white border. This is but an inadequate description of this very fine Iris. 
Shining Waters Each 50c, Three $1.25, Doz. $4.00 
Four to five feet. Early. Very sweet fragrance. On close inspection 
the surface seems to be studded with tiny jewels, giving an unusual 
sparkle. A uniform, clear sky-blue, of a most delightful shade. 
Siegfried Each 55c, Three $1.45, Doz. $4.75 
An Iris they are all talking about, and one which every grower will want 
to own. A flower of really huge size, pale sulphur-yellow overlaid with 
a stippling and dotting of purple. A slightly buffy overtone blends the 
colors together. 
Snowking Each 65c, Three $1.75, Doz. $5.50 
Regal in bearing with broadly flaring great white blossoms lit with 
gold at the throat. Heavy of substance, bold and strong in growing 
aa 3 feet tall. A wonderful and thoroughly hardy white form from the 
asses. 
Venus de Milo Each 40c, Three $1.00, Doz. $3.50 
Pure white. Honorable Mention American Iris Society. An outstanding 
good white. A perfect flower in every way. 
William Mohr Each 40c, Three $1.00, Doz. $3.50 
The foliage and leaves of William Mohr are always small but the 
blooms are simply immense. The ground color is pale lilac, standards 
flushed darker, the whole flower beautifully veined manganese-violet. 
Substance and shape of the very best; a very large flower, actual 
measurements showing standards 314 inches by 234 inches and falls 
2 nets by 2 inches. Stems strong and rigid. Rhizomes naturally small. 
arly. 
Winneshiek Each 40c, Three $1.00, Doz. $3.50 
We like this best of all the new black Irises, the actual color being the 
deepest midnight-blue-violet. It is certainly one of the best of this 
type, if not the best. The flower is large, of lustrous silky texture, of 
perfect form and freely produced. You will not be disappointed with 
Winneshiek.

IRIS PUMILA 
These hardy, dwarf Iris are one of the most inexpensive, long-lived 
edging plants in cultivation. They multiply rapidly, bloom profusely, 
require no care but can be count- 
ed upon to take care’ of them- 
selves. They have in miniature 
form all the characteristics of the 
tall Bearded Iris. They begin to 
flower in April and continue well 
into May. They are hardy every- 
where and, as said before, excel- 
lent for edging and borders or 
walks. The autumn-flowering va- 
rieties may be used for the same 
purpose as described above.

Iris Pumila, Excelsa 

Tris, Pres. Pilkington 
Ctutumn lowering Gris Pumila 
Flowering Two or More Times Each Season. Excellent for Edging. 
These autumn-flowering Irises have two or more normal flowering sea- 
sons each year. They blossom in the spring along with other early flower- 
ing varieties and again in the autumn, beginning in September and con- 
tinuing until killed by heavy frosts. Some of them also flower intermittently 
throughout the year. 
Autumn Queen 
Three $1.50, Doz. $4.75 
This is a reliable spring and fall 
bloomer. A pure snow-white. It 
belongs in almost the same class 
as Jean Siret and Lieut. Chavag- 
nac so far as size and height are 
concerned, but is a little larger 
and a little taller, 
Jean Siret 
Three $1.50, Doz. $4.75 
This variety and Lieut. Chavagnac 
are the most persistent bloomers 
of the Iris family. They begin to 
flower quite early in the spring 
with the earliest miniatures and 
have a long spring flowering sea- 
son. They also have an equally 
long autumn flowering season. 
Clear chrome-yellow. 
Lieut. Chavagnac 
Three $1.50, Doz. $4.75 
A new everblooming, fragrant, 
violet colored variety, with the 
same qualities as Jean Siret. The 
two go well together. 
Olive White 
Three $1.50, Doz. $4.75 
This is a good cream _ colored 
spring and fall bloomer,
