GIANT BEARDED IRIS 

 (FLEUR-DE-LIS) 



The recent introductions offered below are 

 well termed "Garden Orchids" and they out- 

 rival the orchids in wide range of coloring — 

 including yellows; blues from soft lavender to 

 intense purples, reds from pinkish mauve to 

 claret, beautiful bronzes and pure whites. 

 Some are marked and margined with other 

 colors in exquisite harmony, many of the 

 varieties being delightfully fragrant.

varieties, which will be revelations of beauty to Iris lovers. The roots are ready for shipment from Septem- 

 ber 15th to November i^th.
