Heroique 
T V COLLECTION 
We have the good fortune to be able to offer the iris sensation 
of the year, 3 new varieties that were shown on the Arthur 
Godfrey show and made a great hit all over the country. 
To enable our customers to enjoy the gorgeous blossoms of 
these three beauties without waiting until next year to see the 
flowers, we have gone to the trouble and expense of preparing 
the rhizomes for spring shipment and spring blooming. 
HEROIQUE, a magnificent white with blossoms up to 9 1/2 
inches, is without doubt the world's largest iris. Several huge 
blossoms are usually open on a single stalk, making a beautiful 
bouquet. A stalkor two placedin a vase at your church or club 
meeting will create a sensation. 
DAZZELIER lives up to its name because the brilliance of the 
large golden yellow blossoms, which are lightly brushed with 
Orange, are really dazzlingly bright. This great iris may be 
seen at a distance because it stands out like a beacon in the 
garden.

The Vesper Iris 
Iris Dichotoma 
The Vesper Iris blooms when no other garden iris are dis- 
playing color. Below are excerpts from an article on the 
Vesper Iris which appeared inthe FLOWER GROWER, It 
certainly is one of the most interesting iris to befound any- 
where. 
"Here's an iris that tells time! At three o'clock every 
afternoon from late July tofrost the 2-inch flowers open into 
colorful gems of blue, lavender, or wine color, some en- 
hanced by orange, mahogany or tyrian markings on the at- 
tractive falls. 
"The candelabra-like branching of the Vesper Iris spaces 
each open flower in the clump so advantageously that it is 
usually difficult tofind one blossom touching another. From 
a little distance the flowers look like gorgeous butterflies 
at rest with outstretched wings. Flower beauty is never 
marred by wilted blossoms. Each open bloom curls into a 
graceful little spiral during the night and usually drops to 
the ground before sunrise to be replaced by another crisp 
flower the next afternoon. 
"What's more, the Vesper Iris is easy to grow! It thrives 
in half sun or in the open in agreat variety of soils, prefer- 
ring rich, heavy loam, but also tolerating stony, sandy 
ground. As for hardiness, it survives winters without pro- 
tection, even when the temperature drops to 15 degrees be- 
low zero. This is true only of plants set out before the 
blooming season. Fall plantings do not become sufficiently 
established to withstand the rigors of winter. 
"Few gardeners know this delicately beautiful flower. If 
you want something different for your garden you'll find this 
a leading candidate. Even if you've never planted a garden 
before, you'll have success with this easy-to-grow iris."! 
We have readwiththe greatest interest, however, the letters 
and comments of the Iris fan and the plain dirt gardener.
