TRY STYLOSAS FOR WINTER BLOOM 
Unique among Iris, for they flower periodically throughout late fall and winter, 
Oct. to March. Different ones excel at different times, so get a number of color 
forms. Not hurt by snow, but in coldest regions best grown in frames or pots. 
Stylosas are one of our specialties. We doubt if you will find so many tine torms 
in any other catalog in the world. Sometimes called Algerian Iris or Unguicu- 
laris. Clumps available as explained under Siberians. 
BRIDAL PINK STYLOSA * x * $5:00; Clump $10.00 
A real rarity—in fact, so scarce | hesitate to catalog it this year, but 
do so in response to many requests. A pale orchid pink, so clear and 
lovely it could fittingly be used in a bridal bouquet. The most 
charming Stylosa I grow. Foliage low; flowers well above the leaves. 
GAY STYLOSA * * $2.50; Clump $5.00 
Decidedly superior to common form: (1) Foliage lower, allowing 
flowers to stand out above it; (2) Blooms much more profusely; 
(3) A richer, deeper lavender-blue, almost violet. Ideal for rock gar- 
den, low edgings. 
LARGE FLOWERED STYLOSA x * $2.50; Clump $6.00 
Flowers often 4 to 5 inches across, nearly twice the size of common 
form. Bright lavender blue, with deep yellow signal. Very fragrant. 
An exclusive offering, so much in demand | recently had to with- 
draw it and may have to do so again. You'll be delighted with this 
improved variety. 
WHITE STYLOSA (Alba) $2.00; Clump $4.00 
Pure white with a deep yellow signal patch. Rare, stock very limited. 
MARBLED PURPLE AND LAVENDER STYLOSA $1.00; Clump $2.00
