LOUISIANA NATIVE IRISES 
For the past 12 years I have collected the best native irises which I could 
obtain from the Sabine River to Lake Ponchartrain., Additional good clones have been 
obtained from crosses between these varieties and from open—pollinated seed, ‘From 
these plants I am now offering a choice collection of Louisiana native irises, 
moderately priced for those who wish to get a start with good plants, but who are 
net interested in buying a variety name, This collection will contain a large 
Gneens White, one of the famous Abbeville Reds, several types of Giganticaerulea 
(tall marsh—land blue), a yellow, a hybrid Foliosa and several purples. 
Orders are accepted for shipment when the plants are dormant in early August 
through October. Price {5,00 per dozen, delivered.
