a dark center. The comparatively small, waived falls are white 
very delicately tinted Rood’s violet which becomes heavy at 
hafts, with a lightly sanded halo and sharply defined radiating 
veins of royal purple. Styles are solid mulberry purple color 
which has the appearance of having been lightly rubbed off 
leaving flower light at extreme center. A very fine, large plant 
with large, strong, well branched stems to 48 in. high. A variety 
of much distinction. $22.50 each. 
BUTTERFLY PRINCE 
This is a very large three petal flower of clean pinkish color 
effect freely produced on very tall, strong and widely branched 
stems. The ruffled flowers of medium substance flutter in the 
breeze reminding one of huge butterflies. Its slightly red tinted 
white falls have clean cut mulberry purple veins radiating 
from center with a very slight sanding of same color between 
veins and have a slight blue halo, they are held flaring to 
straight hanging. The large standards are of Rood’s violet 
with a broad white edge. Styles are mulberry purple edged 
light. To 54 in. tall. An outstanding variety in every way 
blooming in midseason. $25.00 each. 
CONFETTI SHOWER 
A large six petal, beautifully formed, rosy colored flower 
of medium intensity with a darker center borne freely on 
strong, well and widely bronched stems to 50 in. high. Pansy 
violet coloring is densely stippled on the light rosy tinted 
background of falls blending from a light center outward to 
a heavier deposit of color on edges. A broad, delicate blue, 
blended halo surrounds the yellow signal patches. Styles are 
upstanding, stippled same color and stained pansy violet on 
ends. A distinctive, very colorful and stylish flower. Its name 
well describes the gayety of this multicolored flower which 
is totally unlike any other Japanese iris I have seen. A favorite 
wiih all visitors to the garden. A rather early and sure bloomer. 
See illustration on cover. $25.00 each. 
COBRA DANCER 
A large six petal flower of fine shape and good substance 
freely produced on tall 50 in., straight, strong stems with long, 
widely spaced branches. Falls have a light undercolor overlaid 
with mulberry purple and a rather large darker halo sur- 
rounding the prominent yellow signal patches which light up 
the flower and dark veins of same color radiate from halo. 
The light undercolor shows through the mulberry purple 
coloring giving the effect of a rare oriental fabric. The uni- 
formly colored styles are mulberry purple edged lighter. A 
flower of lively coloring and bold habit. A midseason bloomer, 
outstanding in every way. All things considered this probably 
is my best variety to date. $25.00 each.
