German Iris or|Fleur-de-Lis 



The improved varieties of German Iris, or "Flags," rival choice Orchids in exquisite color and 

 beauty. For more than twenty- five years I have been perfecting my collection of this beautiful spring 

 fiow^er by securing every variety offered, in Europe or America, testing and discarding all that were 

 not distinct and choice; until I am confident the list I offer is unrivalled by that to be had of any other 

 nursery in the United States. German Iris, like Peonies, should be planted in the autumn for best results.

 densely striped with deep wine.
