LIBERTY IRIS 



The "Fleur de Lis" of France 



No Other flower has so many combinations of color, especially

 is most fitting-. They are absolutely hardy, as beautiful in form, 

 texture and coloring as any Orchid, and many are delightully 

 fragrant. They are not particular as to soil; will grow where 

 anything will, but do better in well-drained locations. There is 

 nothing prettier than this Liberty Iris, blooming from May 10th 

 to June 10th. The colors are gorgeous and they completely hide 

 the plant. Be sure and plant some Liberty Iris. Price, the entire
