Each 2.00 
HISAKATA (Lofty Heaven) 
This massive deep midnight blue is unsurpassed in its color 
class. The bright yellow blotches in the center are bordered 
by a brilliant indigo area adding beauty to this very late 
blooming variety. Double 10-11 inch flowers. Our large 
stock allows a most attractive price. 
1SO-NO-KAMONE Each 4.50 
A large pure white of incomparable beauty and grandeur. Few 
others exhibit such intense ruffling as this gorgeous variety. 
Only a few to spare this year. 
KARAGINU (Imported Silk) Each 2.00 
Immense 10 inch blooms of royal purple with bright yellow 
spears and a few inconspicuous white veins in center of flower. 
Perhaps the finest of this color. Double. 
KARAHASHI (Chinese Bridge) Each 2.00 
This gigantic red purple of heavy substance and velvety tex- 
ture attracts all visitors. The ruffled petals are amazingly 
large and even though this variety is a rapid increaser we 
never have enough stock. One of the most popular varieties 
in our collection. Double. 
KIRI-FURI-NO-TAKI (Waterfall Enveloped with Mist) Ea. 2.50 
Deepest pure violet variety with prominent yellow spears. 
Rather late double. 
KUME-NO-MAI (Dance of the Kumes) Each 4.50 
Late blooming deep crimson self of extra fine substance and 
texture. A rare double variety and the deepest of the red 
shades. 
KUNSHI-KOKO Each 3.50 
Huge single flowers of purest white with narrow deep crim- 
son border. In no other variety is the color pattern as sharply 
defined. Nothing else like it. 
KURUMA-DOME Each 3.50 
This amazing beauty might be described as the double 
counterpart of Kunshi-Koku. However, the ground color is 
not quite as pure as in the single variety. The large crisp 
flower displays the narrowest border of all in this color class. 
Beautifully crimped edge. 
MIODOROKI (Three Surprises) Each 2.50 
A giant double which will produce flowers one foot in diameter 
under ideal conditions. Color is rich plum purple shading to 
violet at the center. Elegant ruffled flowers. 
MIYUKI-GURUMA (Imperial Carriage) Each 3.50 
Another immense intensely ruffled double of the red bor- 
dered sort. However, the border is so wide that we can 
hardly decid2 whether to class this one as a white with crimson 
border or a crimson with the white center. Always greatly 
admired. 
MIYUKI-NISHIKI (Imperial Brocade) Each 3.00 
Refined and dainty on the order of BEAUTY OF YAMA- 
MOTO. A large rosy purple with small white center and nar- 
row white veins extending about half way out on the petals. 
The white styles are tipped purple. Strong grower. 
MURAKUMO (Dark Clouds) Each 3.50 
Velvety deep blue toned purple and one of the richest of all 
the dark varieties. Prominent gold spears. Very large single 
flowers of classic form. 
34 
NAGAO-ZAN (Nagao Mountain) Each 5.00 
This spectacular variety will really stop you. A giant ruffled 
double that easily produces 10 inch flowers with no extra 
coddling. Color is clear porcelain blue with white center. 
Certainly one of the most desirable of all. 
NISHIKI-GI (Brocade Trees) Each 3.00 
Most outstanding of the marbled varieties. The double flow- 
ers are pearl white heavily striated and mottled imperial pur- 
ple and light blue. Deep purple styles. 
OE-YAMA Each 5.00 
The splendor and huge size of this red toned black purple 
places it among the finest of all Japanese Iris. Fresh flowers 
are near black including the styles. If you are searching for 
an iris of richest color, finest texture, best substance and 
gigantic size this variety is of the highest quality in all re- 
spects. One of the last to bloom. 
ROKKO-ARASHI (Tempest on Rokko Mountain) Each 3.50 
The blue counterpart of KURUMA-DOME. Clear white flow- 
ers with bluish purple margin. Crisp and flaring with a frilled 
edge this striking variety delights everyone. 
ROW-GETSU (Clear Moon) Each 4.00 
Beautiful pure white double of enormous size. Strong grower. 
Very few plants. 
SANO-NO-WATARI (Ferry at Sano) Each 3.00 
Perhaps the biggest single of all. The massive white falls are 
dotted and splotched violet on the margins. The small stand- 
ards are edged purple and enclose pure white styles tipped 
bluish lavender. A fascinating giant of wavy and drooping 
form. 
SETTSU-NO-HOMARE (Pride of Settsu) Each 2.50 
A Doge purple double with large white center. The striking 
pure white styles tipped bright red purple invariably catch 
the eye. 
SHINO-NO-ME (Dawning Sky) Each 5.00 
The finest pure lavender double we have seen. The huge 
ruffled flowers attain 11 inch diameters and the lovely light 
lavender color will appeal to those who prefer the delicate 
shades. 
TAMA-NO-KiZAHASHI Each 2.50 
A greatly improved T. S. Ware. Flowers are much larger and 
possess better substance and texture. 
TEN-NO-HAGAROMO Each 2.50 
Very large single of beautiful form and crepe like texture. 
Color is rich glowing crimson with no variegation. One of the 
reddest varieties. 
TEN-YU Each 3.00 
Beautiful rose purple with large white center and prominent 
Orange spears. Surrounding streamers radiate almost to the 
margins which are delightfully frilled. 

HIGO IRIS SEEDLINGS 
During the past few years we have been growing thousands of 
Higo iris from hand pollinated seeds and about a dozen of the 
best seedlings have already been selected for future release. 
Japanese iris fanciers who visit us each year at blooming time 
become ecstatic when they first see these beautiful seedlings. 
Last year the often repeated remark was that our seedlings were 
so much better than our collections of named varieties. In fact 
we had to rope off the seedling plots in order to prevent thought- 
less, though well meaning visitors from trampling down plants 
while excitedly making their way over to some beauty that lured 
them from the path. A most interesting discovery has been that 
seedlings grown from pure Higo pollinated seeds are of surpass- 
ing beauty, largest size and of finest quality in all other respects. 
There has been no inferior progeny. Also, by crossing only double 
Higo varieties the resultant seedlings are 75 to 90% double. 
This extremely high rate of double offspring indicates that the 
Higo strain of Japanese Iris is the most advanced development to 
date. Although our stock is quite limited we offer these superior 
seedlings this year, everyone of which will prove outstanding in 
your garden. Plants will not be available until August and will 
not be of ordinary field run quality. During their flowering pe- 
riod this year, select plants will be tagged to assure our customers 
of a wide color range, largest size and double form. These se- 
lected seedlings will compare favorably with any of the Higo 
named varieties listed in our catalogue. This is an exceptional 
offer and a real opportunity for the Japanese Iris lover who 
wants the very best obtainable for a minimum cash outlay.
