GERMAN IRISES 



(Fleur-de-Lis; Iris germanica) 



Farquhar's Fleur-de-Lis were awarded a Silver Medal by the Massachusetts Horticultural Society 



These Irises thrive in a well-drained and sunny situation, and the finest blooms are obtained from established clumps, conse- 

 quently when planted they should remain undisturbed for at least three to four years. The plants may be given a light covering 

 of leaves or salt hay (not manure) during winter. When transplanting, barely cover the rhizomes. 

 In the descriptions, S. is used to signify standards or the erect petals; F. Jails or the drooping petals.

 purpose they should be cut in the bud, then placed in water. The plants require rich, moist soil.

 bluish mauve, with a halo of a deeper shade around the yellow
