SHIPMENT: From September Ist to December 15th. 
ALASKA 6 for 1.00; 12 for 1.75; 100 for 8.50 
The only yellow Dutch Iris that is an absolute self. The entire 
color is pure deep yellow. Early and an excellent forcer. 
ANKARA 6 for 1.50; 12 for 2.75; 100 for 15.00 
The finest bronze variety in existence. The massive flowers 
with wide standards and falls, strong stems and good foliage 
and the clear rich color promise a most popular variety within 
a few years. Very late. 
ARTHUR BRIET 6 for 1.00; 12 for 1.75; 100 for 10.00 
Large flower of uncommon beauty. Standards bluish purple, 
falls olive bronze with an immense orange signal patch. 
BELLE JAUNE 6 for .85; 12 for 1.50; 100 for 7.50 
Beautiful two-toned yellow of large size that is already im- 
mensely popular. The color effect is golden yellow but the 
standards are actually several shades lighter. Splendid long 
strong stems and excellent for forcing. Early. 
BLUE CHAMPION 6 for 1.00; 12 for 1.75; 100 for 8.50 
Perhaps the largest Dutch variety in existence. Beautiful clear 
medium blue flowers with a large yellow patch on each fall. 
Like Wedgwood but blooms after the early variety is gone. 
BLUE PEARL 6 for .85; 12 for 1.50; 100 for 7.50 
This and National Velvet are the two darkest varieties in our 
collection. The color is deep violet with a bright yellow sig- 
nal. Most colorful in the garden. Midseason. 
BLUE RIBBON 6 for .85; 12 for 1.50; 100 for 7.50 
Our favorite of all blue Dutch Iris. The color is royal blue 
of amazing intensity and velvety texture unlike any other blue. 
Immense plants and foliage produce the big flowers very early. 
Largest bulbs of all. Without doubt one of the greatest new 
introductions. Picture on page 15. 
BRONZE BEAUTY 6 for .85; 12 for 1.50; 100 for 7.50 
A novel and distinct color in Dutch Iris. Bright purple stand- 
ards and bronze olive green falls. An intriguing color combina- 
tion that has caught the fancy of iris fans to such extent that 
the supply is always short of demand. A fascinating cut flower 
and a fine keeper. Midseason. Picture on page 14. 
DELFT BLUE 6 for .85; 12 for 1.50; 100 for 7.50 
The name describes the color which is distinct from any other 
variety grown. An iris for the connoisseur who seeks a different 
blue iris. Vigorous and extra large. Early to midseason. 
GOLD AND SILVER 6 for 1.50; 12 for 2.75; 100 for 15.00 
A 1950 introduction and our most striking bicolor. As the 
name implies the standards are clear white without a trace of 
yellow and the falls are deep yellow with orange signals. Giant 
flowers on tall stiff stems. May be forced. Midseason. 
LE MOGOL 6 for .85; 12 for 1.50; 100 for 7.50 
Handsome new bronze variety. Illustration depicts its beauty 
accurately. Very late. Picture on page 15. 
LEMON QUEEN 6 for 1.00; 12 for 1.75; 100 for 8.50 
Very large beautiful variety. Lemon yellow standards and sul- 
phur yellow falls. Good forcer. 
HARMONY 6 for 1.00; 12 for 1.75; 100 for 10.00 
Most unusual color combination that can be truly classed as a 
tricolor. Standards are clear blue, the circular olive yellow falls 
are contrasted by an extra large orange yellow signal. It stands 
out in any collection. Early. 
JOAN OF ARC 6 for 1.00; 12 for 1.75; 100 for 8.50 
One of the very largest whites and the best of this color for 
forcing. Creamy white flowers on extra tall stems. Early and a 
beauty in the garden. 
KING MAUVE 6 for 1.00; 12 for 1.75; 100 for 8.50 
Delicate violet mauve and the nearest approach to orchid in 
Dutch Iris. Large full flowers on fine stems. A beautiful garden 
variety. Midseason. Picture on page 15. 
LEMON WONDER 6 for 1.25; 12 for 2.25; 100 for 12.50 
One of the largest of all Dutch Iris and a wondrous beauty in 
the garden. A self of lustrous lemon yellow with a subdued 
orange signal. Medium stems and late. 
MARCONI 6 for .85; 12 for 1.50; 100 for 7.50 
Immense flowers of flaring form. Standards white faintly suf- 
fused lilac, falls creamy white with huge orange signal. A spec- 
tacular garden variety and a gorgeous cut flower. 
NATIONAL VELVET 6 for 1.25; 12 for 2.00; 100 for 10.00 
This grand novelty resembles the Dutch Iris in habit but the 
color, a deep glowing violet purple, is unlike anything seen in 
Dutch varieties. The flowers are somewhat different in form 
and the vivid orange blotch on each fall enhances the beauty 
of this exciting new hybrid. 24 inches. 
ORANGE KING 6 for 1.50; 12 for 2.75; 100 for 15.00 
The largest and deepest solid orange yellow we have yet seen. 
Outstanding both in the garden and for cutting; a strong 
grower with the huge flowers on tall stiff stems. Very late. 
PRINCESS BEATRIX 6 for 1.25; 12 for 2.25; 100 for 12.50 
Very large and the most radiant Dutch Iris in our collection. 
Standards are golden yellow and the falls are deepest orange. 
‘The color simply glows. 
PRINCESS IRENE 6 for 1.25; 12 for 2.25; 100 for 12.50 
Striking new variety of brilliant contrasting colors. Standards 
clear white, falls deepest orange. Very large and one of the 
very best. Picture on page 14. 
STRANGER (De Goede) 6 for 1.50; 12 for 2.75 
A new introduction that is a most fascinating color combina- 
tion. Standards are deep violet, falls chartreuse bronze with a 
bright orange signal. A bizarre and striking variety that was a 
center of attention at blooming time last year. Late. 
WEDGWOOD 6 for .60; 12 for 1.00; 100 for 6.00 
Not new but the first variety to bloom and a huge flower very 
popular with florists for forcing. Standards blue, falls light 
blue with yellow signal patch. 24 inches. 
WHITE PERFECTION 6 for 1.00; 12 for 1.75; 100 for 8.50 
Most recent white introduction. Less formal but larger than 
White Pearl. Pure white flowers with small yellow signal on 
medium stem. Early. 
SPANISH IRIS 
We strongly recommend these splendid Spanish varieties, not only because they prolong the flowering season of bulb iris 2 to 
3 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 affording ideal 
cut flowers. 
CAJANUS 6 for .60; 12 for 1.00; 100 for 6.00 
Large brilliant yellow on tall wiry stems ideal for cutting. One 
of the best yellows and a strong grower. 
DISTINCTION 6 for .60; 12 for 1.00; 100 for 6.00 
Standards light violet, falls bronze with orange signal. 
ENCHANTRESS 6 for .60; 12 for 1.00; 100 for 6.00 
Extra large soft clear blue. Finest blue Spanish iris. 
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 sen- 
sational variety. Picture on page 23. 
L’INNOCENCE 6 for .60; 12 for 1.00; 100 for 6.00 
Beautiful pure white variety. 
16 
HERCULES 6 for .60; 12 for 1.00; 100 for 6.00 
Late flowering Spanish variety and one of the most striking of 
all. Large flowers ot glowing bronze. Standards faintly tinted 
blue and the falls golden hued. This one attracts all visitors. 
MENELIK 6 for .60; 12 for 1.00; 100 for 6.00 
Most beautiful variety of contrasting colors. Bright blue stand- 
ards and clear white falls with orange yellow blotch. Large
