ENGLISH IRIS 
English Iris are considered by many to be the most beautiful of all bulb iris. They are 
hardy in most parts of the country and are easily grown. Blooming after all the other 
bulb iris and ahead of the Japanese varieties they fill an important place in the gar- 
den scheme. Their vigorous habits and lovely coloring in shades of blue, lavender, 
orchid pink, wine purple and white have gained great popularity for them everywhere. 
Besides their garden value the long stemmed orchid-like blooms are highly prized as 
cut flowers. 
CULTURE: The Junos, Dutch and English are best planted 4 to 5 inches deep. The 
reticulata group and tuberosa about 2 to 3 inches deep. With the exception of the 
English all thrive under the same conditions as the Regelio-cyclus group. The English 
enjoy abundant moisture until the flowering period and neutral or slightly acid soil. 
All may be lifted after blooming if desired and stored in a cool dry place until fall. 
SHIPMENT: From August 1 to November 1.

NEW SPANISH IRIS 
We strongly recommend these splendid Spanish varieties, not only because 
they prolong the flowering season of bulb iris 2 to weeks but for their own 
beauty and distinctive form as well. In fact this group provides us with the 
most elegant bronze, gold, brown and yellow shades. Flowers and bulbs 
are not as large as the Dutch but the stems are very long and wiry afford- 
ing ideal cut flowers. 
CAJANUS 6 for .60; 12 for 1.50 
Large brilliant yellow on tall wiry stems ideal for cutting. 
One of the best yellows and a strong grower. 
GOLDEN LION 6 for $2.00; 12 for 3.75 
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 bulb iris. 
A sensational variety. 
HERCULES 6 for .60; 12 for 1.00 
Late flowering Spanish variety and one of the most striking of 
all. Large flowers of glowing bronze. Standards faintly tinted 
blue and the falls golden hued. This one attracts all visitors. 
MENELIK 6 for .60; 12 for 1.00 
Most beautiful variety of contrasting colors. Bright blue 
standards and clear white falls with orange yellow blotch. 
Large flowers on tall 24 inch stems. 
PRINCE HENRY 6 for .60; 12 for 1.00 
Darkest of the brown and bronze shades. Standards brownish 
purple, falls golden bronze with bright yellow signal. 20 
inches. 
RECONNAISSANCE 6 for .60; 12 for 1.00

My order was received yesterday and 
in spite of being in transit so long the 
plants seem to be in excellent condition. 
This is due to the very excellent man- 
ner in which they were packed. In the 
many years I have received plants I 
have never seen such beautiful, meticu- 
lous wrapping.

Just received the shipment of Iris including the 12

thank you for your generosity. I know I shall enjoy 
the new Iris I ordered, as all that have come from your 
firm have been outstanding.
