Resolve to Have an 

 IRIS Garden Next Spring! 



Because of the many wonderful colors found among the Iris, that flower, so the story goes, 

 was named after the Goddess of the Rainbow. But the Goddess would surely be envious 

 these days were she to see the modern wonder of the hybridizers' art, known to us as the 

 German Iris. Scintillating, glittering, velvety creations of the most alluring tints and 

 shades, an Iris garden brings new wonders each recurring Spring. For years, we have 

 championed the cause of the "Flags" or Iris Germanica and we are now in a position to 

 offer you a fine collection.
