An Amazing New Ins 
Iris “Fantasy” Hybrids 
Picture a minature iris with blossoms of the ut- 
most orchid-like perfection of form, in a gamut of 
colors including every tint and shade of the spectrum 
in harmonizing combinations, and you may have 
some idea of the beauty of this new race of hybrids 
of the finest Oregon native species. Originated with 
us and only introduced to horticulture last year, these 
“Fantasy” iris are creating a sensation among all who 
have seen them. Colors range from pastel shades in- 
cluding white, cream and pale yellow with veinings 
of blue, purple, mauve, pink and brown, through 
shades of blue and lavender to the richest of purples, 
most having combination of two or more colors and 
many having white or cream standards with richly 
colored falls. 
These are no hothouse beauties to coddle, but have 
true hybrid vigor and seem to thrive in any environ- 
ment, given the basic requirements of reasonably acid 
soil and good drainage. 
Ideal for drifts or masses of spring color, or as 
borders or edgings, as the foliage is dwarf, compact 
and evergreen. These merit a place in every garden 
and we can now price them to be used in quantity. 
Blossoming-size plants, field-run, in wide color as- 
sortment, $2.50 per doz., $20.00 per 100. 
Shipment February through May, and through 
Sept: - Oct.
