DUTCH AND 
The Dutch varieties are best known and most useful of all the bulb 
iris. They are so easily grown anywhere except in the coldest cli- 
mates where winter protection 1s necessary. Increase is so rapid that 
a few bulbs will multiply to hundreds within 3 or 4 years. Besides 
their garden value they are the best of all iris for cutting and are 
in big demand by florists everywhere.

HYBRID NOVELTIES 
A. VAN NIEROP 6 for .85; 12 for 1.50 
A great improvement over the old Leonardo da Vinci. Stand- 
ards white, falls golden yellow. Large and distinct. 
BLUE CHAMPION (New) 6 for 1.50; 12 for 2.50 
Perhaps the largest Dutch variety in existence. Beautiful clear 
medium blue flowers with a large yellow patch on each fall. 
On the order of Wedgwood but blooms way after the early 
variety is gone. 
EDWARD SALBACH (New) 6 for 1.50; 12 for 2.50 
A sister seedling of National Velvet and much later flower- 
ing. The deep purple falls are set off by extra large round 
yellow spots. Most striking and a wonderful cut flower. 
GOLDEN LION 6 for 1.50; 12 for 2.50 
This glorious Spanish Iris is not new but there has never been 
sufficient stock to supply the demand. Very late flowering and 
beautifully ruffled flowers of golden yellow. Superb for 
cutting and in our opinion the most desirable of all Dutch Iris. 
A sensational variety. 
NATIONAL VELVET (New) 6 for 1.50; 12 for 2.50 
This grand novelty resembles the Dutch Iris in habit but the 
color, a deep glowing violet purple, is unlike anything seen in 
the Dutch varieties. The flowers are somewhat different in 
form and the vivid orange blotch on each fall enhances the 
beauty of this exciting new hybrid. 24 inches. 
VIOLET QUEEN , 6 for .85; 12 for 1.50

The following list of uncommon species includes many lovely iris, some adapted for growing in shade under trees and some 
ileal for the rockery. Chrysographes, Delavayi and Wilsonu provide excellent material for the perennial border and are most 
impressive in large clumps. The crested species are among the most charming of all tris. Dainty Cristata and the large 
flowered Tectorum delight the most discriminating gardeners. The plum scented Graminea and the many color forms 
of Chrysofor are most fascinating. Your rock garden will benefit by the admission of such enchanting iris as Forestit, Hya- 
cinthiana and Stylosa Angustifolia. Beauty often comes in the smallest parcels. 
CULTURE: All will thrive under ordinary garden conditions. Those in the Sibirica section including Chrysographes, De- 
lavayt, Forestii and Wilsoni are motsture lovers so must not be allowed to dry out during the summer months.
