Hardy Border Plants and Bulbs — Continued 



Iris Germanica — German Iris 



The "Fleur de Lis" of France 



No other flower has so many combinations of 

 color, especially of the delicate and unusual shades, 

 and. the name Rainbow Flower is most fitting. 

 They are absolutely hardy, as beautiful in form, 

 texture and coloring as any Orchid, and many are 

 delightfully fragrant. They are not particular as 

 to soil; will grow where anything will, but do bet- 

 ter in well-drained locations. There is nothing 

 prettier than this German Iris, blooming from May 

 10th to June 10th. The colors are gorgeous and 

 they completely hide the plant. Be sure and plant 

 some German Iris. The entire nine, costing $2.05, 

 for $1.65.
