GERMAN OR LIBERTY IRIS 



(Iris Germanica or Fleur de Lis) 

 A Cultural Hint — Most planters set Iris roots 

 too deeply. They should be so placed that the 

 neck of the root is just level with the surface of 

 the ground. The upright petals are termed 

 "stands," the drooping ones, "falls."

JAPANESE IRIS (Mixed) 

 Some time ago, a specialist and hy- 

 bridizer offered us his surplus of un- 

 named seedlings — some so unique and 

 beautiful as to be well worth naming and 

 offering separately. To these we added 

 other good varieties of which the labels 

 had become lost in the nursery. The en- 

 tire lot is offered to you in this mixture — 

 a truly superb combination of the finest 

 blood. These mixed Japanese Iris should 

 not be confused with the usual or or- 

 dinary Japanese Iris that are sent out. 

 Splendid strong roots, each, 20c; dozen, 

 $2.00; 100, $14.00.
