Louisiana Iris 
“Are there any others with such beauty of foliage, such gypsy 
grace of curving stem and whimsically turned bud? What other 
iris tips a flower to the side and looks one full in the face?”— 
Caroline Dormon. 
The color range of this enchanting group of iris is large, rang- 
ing from the purest white through pale pinks to rose, coral tones, 
soft yellows, rust and copper, blues of every shade, rich old reds, 
to the blackest purples and wine colors. 
The shape and size of the flowers vary with the variety, those 
of the famous Abbeville type are flat and resemble a Japanese 
iris, while others are crisp and starched looking. 
Louisiana iris are as easy to grow as bearded iris, although they 
prefer semi-shade, a soil enriched with plenty of humus and can 
take a lot of manure—in fact we have planted them using half 
soil and half manure, and the results have been wonderful. They 
are heavy feeders. Keep well-watered prior to, and during the 
blooming season. We make shipment in the fall. 
GRETNA (Debaillon-Dormon) 
This bewitching violet-blue provides just the contrast needed 
for some of the lighter flowering varieties. The flower itself is 
fully 614 inches across and is borne on long 30-inch stems. 
$1.00; 3 for $2.50 
HAILE SELASSIE (Coll. McMillan) 
The most outstanding of the famous Abbeville irises. It is a 
very deep velvety red with a sharply defined gold beard. It 
blooms freely, often having three open flowers on a single stem. 
The flowers open flat and are firmly built. 11% ft. $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
JEUNE FILLE (Ruth Dormon)

den grouping. 2% ft. $2.50 
MARY S. DEBAILLONW (Debaillon-Dormon) : 
This is so large and of such an entrancing color that everyone 
is thrilled when they come upon it. Often as many as three 7-inch 
rosy lavender and orchid-pink flowers with their broad yellow 
crests, are out at one time, and when a large clump is in bloom, 
it is something one does not forget. 3 ft. $2.50 
MELLOW GLEAM (Ruth Dormon) 
A soft buffy-yellow shading to bright orange at the edges, over 
which has been thrown, as it were, a network of fine threads. 
It should be planted in the foreground where its full beauty can 
be appreciated. It is very striking and will always be enjoyed. 
2% ft. $2.00 
NEW ORLEANS (Debaillon-Dormon)
