I. Histriodes Major — We are indeed very pleased to offer this rare and 
choice Iris. The flowers are produced very early in March before 
the leaves. The falls are a glorious blue with a small white spot on 
the dainty orange-yellow on the ridge of the falls. Only very severe 
frost blemishes its beauty. Exquisitely charming but rarely offered 
and scarce. $.70 each $2.00 per 3 
I. reticulata — Well known and the most grown of the Reticulata Section. 
Violet purple standards and deep violet purple falls with an orange- 
yellow and white blotch. Emit a most delicious violet scent in the 
warm sunshine, or when brought into the house as a cut flower. Four 
inches tall; early flowering; March, April. Very desirable in large 
drifts in the sunniest spot of the rock garden, or well drained sunny 
border. Read culture. Excellent stock at an attractive price.

I. reticulata Cantab — This selected form of I. reticulata produces large sky- 
blue flowers with orange markings, flowering 10 days earlier than 
the common I. reticulata. Very substantial flowers. A novelty of 
great merit and one of the loveliest of the early spring flowers.

orange-yellow blotch dotted dark violet. Emit a violet scent. A. M.

IRIS (Juno Section) 
We consider the Juno Iris very unusual. They produce pale to dark green 
foliage. Unlike other Iris, the flowers are formed in the axils of the leaves. 
The whole plant has a flat fan-like appearance. They bloom from the base up- 
ward. The flowers are quite similiar in form to I. reticulata. The bulbs are 
larger than the Dutch Iris, shaped like an inverted pear with fleshy long 
roots, which must be handled carefully not to break them. All are April, 
May flowering. 
Culture — Plant in well drained sandy soil in full sun. The rock garden 
is an ideal place, or any other sunny well drained situation. Plant 4’ deep, © 
4” apart. Protect with salt hay. 
We are offering a very extensive list of these splendid Irises. 
I. bucharica — Decorative pale green shiny leaves; creamy white flowers 
produced in the axils with brilliant yellow tipped falls. Emit a most 
delightful scent. Free flowering; 12” tall. One of the best for 
collectors. Very striking when planted in groups against a grey rock 
or evergreens. We have a fine stock of these choice and lovable 
plants. See culture. $1.25 per 3 $3.60 per 10 $30.00 per 100 
I. Graeberiana — A very choice and graceful specie. Green shiny leaves. 
The flowers are a superb shade of light cobalt-blue. Award of Merit 
Haarlem, 1929;; exceedingly beautiful. Use as a companion to, or in 
the same way as I. bucharica. See culture. 
$2.00 per 3 $5.50 per 10 
L. I. Magnifica — The most robust growing of the Juno. The foliage is 
broader and bright shiny green, bearing up to 7 flowers in the leaf- 
axils. The gorgeous, large flowers are white delicately suffused with 
lavender-blue. The falls have an orange blotch on the blade. A 
magnificent Iris that should be included in every collection.
