For Hybridizers— CHROMOSOME ODDITIES—Or For The Garden 
Before 1900 most bearded Iris were diploids with 24 chromosomes. Nearly all modern 
20th Century bearded Iris are tetraploids with about 48 chromosomes. Only 3 pentaploids 
with about 60 chromosomes are known; the first two listed below are among these. 
DR. CHOBAUT (Dennis '25) x : $1.00 
This variety has 63 chromosomes, the highest number known for any bearded Iris. It is a 
silvery violet-blue self of attractive form, with plenty of pollen for crossing. 
RHEA (Williamson '28) . $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
This pentaploid with 60 chromosomes is a descendant of Isoline, one of the few triploids 
with 36 chromosomes. Large attractive flowers. A bitone; standards pale lilac, falls violet 
rose with bronze hafts. Closest of inexpensive Iris to the wondrous new Maytime. A pro- 
digious grower and increaser. Pollen abundant. EM-34”. 
NARAIN (Shuber ’36) wo $1.00 
An Iris of unusual inte rest to all hybridizers as it is an unstabilized polyploid, that is, it has 
a varying chromosome number, from 47 to 51. This means that in making difficult crosses 
there is a better-than-unusal chance of having some compatible chromosome numbers 
available, and hence it is more likely to set seed. Should be in the repertory of every 
hybridizer. Still the very best inexpensive deep marine-blue, with heavy blue-violet beard. 
Is pollen parent of both Danube Wave and Gulf Stream. E-38”. 
Multicolored YSRID © OM Seed 
Next to my Iris, my Multicolored Hybrid Brooms (Cytis..:) receive the most exclamations 
of delight from visitors. A famous strain containing a wic © array of brilliant, contrasting 
colors—red, gold, apricot, rose, buff, white, orange, etc. Mavy striking bicolors in the mix- 
ture. Very rapid-growing—you get a full-grown 6-foot shrub in 2 years from seed. Often 
starts blooming at 1 year, and quite heavily at 2 years. Also used 2s a clipped hedge. For 
Westerners and others in fairly mild climates... Here’s a suggestion that will bring inter- 
ested queries from every visitor to your garden. Sow half a packet over a circular area 
15 inches in diameter. When seedlings bloom, thin out, leaving 8 to give greatest variety 
in colors. Will soon grow together into what looks like one large bush. Everyone will exclaim, 
and ask how you have so many bright colors on one bush. Try it. Order this seed when you 
order your Iris. Directions on packet. Each packet contains about 300 seeds. 
EARLY — Regular strain blooming early with Bearded Iris. Packet $1.00; 3 for $2.00 
LATE—A scarce, rare form blooming several weeks later and materially lengthening your 
season. Packet $1.50; 3 for $3.00 
BOTH — One packet of EARLY and one packet of LATE for only $2.00 
RUFFLED SATIN POPPY SEED (Papaver schinzianum) Packet 25¢; 3 for 50¢ 
A delightful perennial poppy, bright salmon, like ruffled satin.
