The glittering golden beard enhances its brilliancy. MORNING SPLENDOR EACH 20c; 3 FOR 50c Certainly among the best no matter what the price.

In a class with Frivolite and Marquisette; between the two in general color effect. MRS. VALERIE WEST EACH 40c; 3 FOR $1.00 The rich brown-reds of Bruno and the plush crim- son of Cardinal combined into one gigantic flower— the crowning achievement of the great Bliss, who gave us Dominion and the long line of its famous progeny. The broad foliage is liandsomely curved, lending a distinctive note, and the heavy stalks are widel.y branched. The enormous blossoms are pro- duced in great profusion, completing all the desirable features anyone could ask for in a truly world famous iris. We have accumulated one of the largest stocks of this variety in existence, and offer it at an attrac- tive )n'ice. Shown on i)age 28. NARANJA EACH $20.00 The leading introduction from Sidney Mitchell during the past season, and the first iris of huge size with a definite orange tone. Taller even than Happy Days, and practically as large. The falls are ochra- ceous orange, with a yellow heart, and the standards are bright empire yellow, the beard orange-yellow. Our plants have made ramjiant growth, although not lush, indicating that it will prove to be reliable in growing habit. 17
