DUTCH IRIS 
The Dutch varieties are best known and most useful of all the bulb 
iris. They are so easily grown anywhere except in the coldest ch- 
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.

On the order of Wedgwood but blooms way after the early 
variety is gone. 
BRONZE QUEEN 6 for .85; 12 for 1.50 
One of the loveliest bronze varieties. Standards bluish bronze, 
falls coppery bronze with large orange blotch. Prized as a 
cut flower. 
EDWARD SALBACH (New) 6 for 2.00; 12 for 3.50 
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.

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. 
HERCULES 6 for .85 12 for 1.50 
Late flowering Spanish variety and one of the most striking of 
all. Large flowers of glowing bronze. Standards faintly tinted

NATIONAL VELVET (New) 6 for 1.25; 12 for 2.00 
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. 
The last of my order from you arrived in excellent condition. 1 do 
want to thank you for the very lovely presents you enclosed each time, 
First the Violet Queen Dutch bulbs, and this time I must say I was 
thrilled with clumps of the Iris Purdyi and the very lovely Ruth Marsalis.
