displays the most contrasting concentric color pattern of all. 
The bright yellow spears are encircled by the most vivid blue 
halo seen in any variety. Then the blue shades into deepest 
orchid, which is the general color when seen at a distance. 
One of the most unusual and beautiful iris in our collection.

blue and standards are deep lavender. Rather late.

desirable marbled double variety.

fled red with beautiful white center.

An enormous single measuring up to 11 inches in diameter

tinted sky blue which fade to white as flowers age. Tiny stand- 
ards. One of the most beautiful iris which sells out every year.

HIGO STRAIN (Japanese Iris) 
We are pleased to offer for the first time many varieties of this 
magnificent strain. Although the Higo tris are new and almost un- 
known in America they are recognized as the highest development 
of Iris Kaempferi in Japan. Immense flowers up to one foot in 
diameter, richest colors, heavy substance and velvety texture char- 
acterize this strain. Many are intensely ruffled. And best of all 
Higo Iris possess exceptional vigor and give better results under 
ordinary garden conditions than other strains. Several of the varie- 
ties listed this year were imported from Japan shortly before the 
war. As stocks of all are very limited we advise early ordering if 
you wish to avoid disappointment. 
APPARE (Splendid) Each 2.50 
Giant double of deep crimson shading to light rose at the 
base. Narrow white veins radiate from center to margins of 
the flower. Very few plants.
