SUSIANA—Rare and distinctive Persian Iris, illustrated this 
page. Large flowers of silvery gray, veined and stippled with 
a brown so dark that it approaches black. It makes a handsome 
pot plant, and is best so handled in cold areas. In summer it 
wants much sun and little water, pretty much stopping growth 
then, but the rest of the year, give it usual treatment of other 
house plants. Each $1.60. 
TECTORUM—tThe charming Roof Iris of Japan. Loose sprays 
of large, somewhat flattened blue blossoms, undulate, with

IRIS AVALON BLEND 
Here there is at least a little of every Iris that we have 
in seed form, of course not in equal amounts, for some kinds 
are too scarce and rare for that. Nevertheless we doubt that 
any other Iris blend, anywhere, any time, has equaled this in 
quality. Ye oz. 25e; % oz. 85c; % oz. 60c. 
GIANT HYBRID IRISES 
Here are the large-flowered Hybrid or Giant Bearded Irises 
that, all through the late spring, paint our borders and gardens 
in such glorious color. Sometimes they are called ‘‘German 
Irises’. Plants of them can be moved at almost any time of 
the year that the soil is not frozen. 
SEEDS OF GIANT BEARDED IRISES—We offer seeds saved 
from a wonderful collection of named sorts, many of the seeds 
from hand-pollenated crosses. Seedlings should show a re- 
markable range of variable color richness. Many of the seed- 
lings may be worth naming and introducing as new kinds. Sow 
seeds outside in latest autumn, or at first possible moment in 
spring. Pkt. 20c; % oz. 45c; %4 oz. 85c.
