IRISES FOR YOUR GARDEN 
A Selected List of the Finest Varieties 
ADORNMENT (Milliken) 
A well formed self in the medium violet tones (manzanese2 
violet—Ridgway), with a blue beard. It has a charm which 
immediately makes an appeal to those coming upon it in their 
strolls in the garden. To the hybridizer it furnishes a thrill 
because of the possibilities which run through his mind. A 
strong grower. 2% feet. $3.50; 3 for $9.00 
ALDURA (Larsen) 
A firmly built flower with sharply marked blue pencilling on 
a clean white background making one of the most beautiful of 
the blue plicatas. It is not as heavily marked as Blue Shimmer 
but it is equally exceptional. 2% feet. $1.50; 3 for $3.75 
ALWAYS (C. G. White) 
The huge flowers are as if carved from old ivory, so thick and 
firm is their substance, yet delicately decorated with veins and 
fine spatterings of bronzed red-purple. The widely branched 
stems are tall and strong. 2% feet. 50c; 3 for $1.25; 12 for $4.00 
APPOINTEE (C. G. White) 
This is very exceptional in its coloring and will fascinate 
many beauty lovers. The falls are tinted lime green with darker 
olive veining; standards light yellow green. 
The large flowers ruffle somewhat and are 
borne on well branched stems. 4 feet. 
$1.03; 3 for $2.50 
ARAB CHIEF (Whiting) 
This is becoming very popular because of its 
brilliant coloring. A near self in burnt orange. 
Vigorous and a free bloomer. 3 feet. $4.00 
ARCADIA BUTTERCUP (Milliken) 
A solid deep yellow which is so clear and 
bright that it fairly shines even on dull days. 
The color is uniform throughout and runs into 
the depth of the center of the flower. The stand- 
ards are arched, falls semi-flaring, substance 
excellent, branching good. 2% feet. $20.00 
ARCTIC (Kleinsorge) 
A vigorous variety which performs well 
throughout the country and one which is very 
useful in landscaping. The flowers, of good size, 
are white with the central portion yellow. 3% to 
4 feet. 75c; 3 for $2.00 
AUTUMN DAWN (Nies) 
A clear, bright blend of old gold and pink with 
free blooming habit. In the east it is a fall 
bloomer, but in California it blooms not only in 
spring and fall but at other times. 28 inches. 
50c; 3 for $1.25 
AUTUMN LEAF (Milliken) 
A tall vigorous new brown, “tawny-olive” of 
Ridgway. Deeper and richer than “cinnamon”, 
with more life than “sepia” and lighter. We 
think that it is going to be useful and popular. 
40 inches. $1.50; 3 for $3.75 
AUTUMN QUEEN (See Dwarf Iris, page 11.) 
AZIM (C. G. White) 
An oncobred which is very unusual in its 
coloring. The standards are olive-buff. The falls 
are somewhat deeper and more colorful, being a 
regular medley of wine, purple and pale yellow. 
Not a showy garden variety but exceptional for 
flower arrangements. 21% feet, sometimes more. 
$3.50

AZTEC COPPER (Kleinsorge) 
A smoky blend of violet and copper. Large and of good sub- 
stance. Very effective as a cut flower when used in the right 
setting. 3 feet. $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
AZURE DAWN (See Spurias, page 20.) 
AZURE SKIES (Pattison) 
A very attractive pale b!ue with firm substance and pleasing 
ruffles. It was selected for introduction by Mrs. Pattison, 
who is familiar with the finest varieties of iris. 3 feet. $3.00 
BALLET GIRL (H. P. Sass) 
A very pale pink which makes a fine companion for light 
blues such as Blue Crystal or Icy Blue. 2 feet. 
50c; 3 for $1.25; 12 for $4.00 
BALI BELLE (Mitchell) 
This iris attracted our attention when we first saw it as an 
unnamed seedling which stood out among a large assortment 
of yellow plicatas in Sidney Mitchell’s garden. Its soft yellow 
ground coloring is lightly, but sharply, marked with purple, but 
the touch which gives it its excepiional appeal is a blue blaze 
extending from the white beard. 2% feet. $7.50; 3 for $21.00
