I. VIRGINICA. The virginicas are demanding and getting more attention these 
days. Though some of these came from the east coast, most of them came from the 
new fields on the Caleasieu River in.Southwestern Louisiana. The forms are in- 
teresting and different, the Louisiana variants being the larger. Lavenders and 
blues. $.75, 3 for $2.00, 6-for $3.75. ; 
I. VIRGINICA ALBA. This graceful little clone is very floriferous. The form 
is more spidery than the normal with narrow floral parts and is most useful in 
arrangements. The bright yellow signal patch adds charm. $.75, 3 for $2.00, 6 
for $341). 
I. VIRGINICA, CALCASIEU WHITE. This selected clone is the finest white 
virginica known at the present time. Its delicate airy grace is outstanding, and 
its excellent branching insures floriferousness. The form is more flaring and the 
substance stiffer than the type. Rare. $3.50. 
"LAKE CHARLES BLUE.” How one would classify this iris unless one listed 
it as a giganticaerulea-foliosa hybrid, is still undetermined; so it is listed separately. 
It was collected in the vicinity of Lake Charles, Louisiana some years ago and has 
become distributed under its present name. Whatever its origin, the large, velvety 
blue flowers, appearing late in the season on tall “zig-zag” stems typical of some 
foliosas, is a beautiful sight and a welcome one for the late season. The substance 
is firm and the texture of satin. Outstanding in any collection. $2.00.
