Ames, lowa 
The Siberian Iris and Tri- 
tomas which I ordered for my 
parents in Lincoln, Nebraska, 
have arrived, and from the 
glowing reports I have received 
I wish to thank you for the 
fine plants you supplied. They 
arrived in perfect condition and 
were far above expectation. 
Thank you too, for the gratis 
item “Dutch Defiance’, we 
ourselves couldn’t have made a 
better choice.

The plants came in excellent 
condition. Thanks a million for 
the extra bulbs and Iris. You 
are very generous.

HOOGIANA 
HOOGIANA Each .75 
There is no other iris like this lovely species. A lustrous soft 
blue self of smoothest finish. Huge golden beard enhances 
its beauty. Very easy. 24 inches. 
HOOGIANA, BRONZE BEAUTY Each 1.50 
A distinct novelty introduced in 1948. Larger than HOOGI- 
ANA and a delicate blend of pale bronze and light blue. 
Lovely as a cut flower. 
HOOGIANA, PURPUREA Each .75 
A deeper purple toned form of the species with longer flowers. 
ISOLDA Each 2.00 
Of striking beauty and one of the best. Th2 color pattern is 
much like that of Charon but the flowers are much larger and 
favor the oncocyclus form. The entire flower appears to be 
sprinkled with gold dust. Of such glittering brilliance many 
visitors can hardly believe their eyes upon first seeing one 
of these rare beauties. 
KOROLKOWI Each .75 
A species of elongated form. Cream white heavily veined 
rose purple. One of the parents of most of the named regelio- 
cyclus varieties. 22 inches. 
KOROLKOWI, CONCOLOR Each 1.00 
Entirely different from the type and still just as striking. Rich 
reddish purple self with no veining. 12 inches. 
KOROLKOWI VIOLACEA Each 1.00 
Truly one of the most striking of all iris. The illustration gives 
a fair idea of its beauty. The color is white, brightly veined 
deep violet. The signal patch is deep purple. 18 inches. 
LUCIA Each 1.50 
Truly a novel iris of unusually long pointed form and with 
the bluest beard of all. The color is bronze toned ruby red 
with a contrasting steel blue beard. Tall 22 inch stems. 
LUNA Each 1.50 
A beautiful variety of large size and most pleasing form. Both 
standards and falls are pearly white veined dark purple with 
large black signal patch. 18 inches. 
SIRONA Each 1.50 
A little jewel of unbelievable brilliance and beauty. Standards 
are bright red purple, falls are white flushed pink and sharply 
veined deepest red violet. Glowing black signal patch. The 
small falls are round and extremely flaring. Dwarf up to 12 
inches. Another paradoxa hybrid. 
KOROLKOWL VIOLACEA 
STOLONIFERA Each 1.00 
Another striking species. Ruffled elongated flowers with 
standards of light violet blue edged bright brown. Falls brown 
purple with brilliant blue beard. Vigorous grower. 22 inches. 
STOLONIFERA LEICHTLINI Each .75 
Similar to the type except that the brown tones are more 
pronounced. Free blooming. 
SUSIANA Each 1.50 
The grayish black Mourning Iris and the only oncocyclus spe- 
cies worth attempting to grow for the average gardener. We 
have grown most of the onco species and despite their un- 
earthly beauty do not recommend them for general use. Their 
requirements have never been satisfied in cultivation and 
subsequently the results have proved most disappointing. 
Susiana is the only possible exception as reports indicate that 
it has been successfully cultivated and even increased in some 
sections of the country. The Mourning Iris is an immense 
globular flower strangely beautiful though somber. Ground 
color is silvery gray completely dotted and veined blackish 
purple. Large black signal patch. Most striking as a cut 
flower and used for this purpose by florists in metropolitan 
Europe. 
TEUCROS Each 1.00 
Large flowers of dusky white ground closely netted and 
veined brownish red purple. Large brown blotch. 18 inches. 
Late. 
THESEUS Each 1.50 
New strong growing and free flowering variety of great beauty. 
Standards are deep violet, falls white netted bronzy purple. 
THOR Each .75 
Rather dwarf and extremely free flowering variety. Stand- 
ards are pale lavender veined deep violet, falls silvery white 
with less dark veining than others. Flaring falls. 
ULYSSES Each 2.50 
Very large perfectly formed flowers of pronounced rosy hue. 
Ground color is pinkish cream completely sanded and veined 
bronze red purple. Late.
