SPURIA IRIS 
Here is an iris that has not had the publicity it richly deserves and has been 
overlooked by many gardeners. Their blooming season is late, following the bearded 
types. They are distinctly beautiful and effective in the garden planting or as speci- 
men clumps. Their stiff, sword-like foliage remains throughout the summer and 
blends well with other foliage. Excellent for cutting and extremely hardy. Early 
September is the best time to plant. This gives the plant some time to get established 
before heavy freezing is encountered. 
Blue Zephyr (Washington 1943) 42”. A charming light blue; one of the most beau- 
tiful of the Spurias. The large erect standards are powder blue. The falls flare 
and are of the same color, but due to the white area around the yellow signal 
they appear to be lighter than the standards. The flowers have very firm sub- 
stance and the stems are sturdy. $1.59 
Euphrosene (Washington 1931) 40”. A very bright clear biue of splendid shape anc 
form; decidedly yellow signal on falls; an excellent variety with several flower: 
open at a time. $1.0% 
Lerd Wolsely (Barr 1899) 4’. Deep blue-purple with yellow signal, Large flowers 
on good strong stems. $1.00 
Sunny Day (H. Sass 1931) 414’. A tall clear canary yellow with no markings on the 
haft. Large flowers with artistic form and great beauty, A perfect cut flower.
