SHIPMENT: From September Ist to December 15th. 
ALASKA 6 for 1.00; 12 for 1.75; 100 for 8.50 
The only yellow Dutch Ivis 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 15.

CULTURE: 
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

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

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.

grower with the huge flowers on tall stiff stems. Very late.

clear white, falls deepest orange. Very large and one of the 
very best. Picture on page 15. 
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.
