GERMAN IRIS (Fleur de Lis) 



J^aci3p Perennial plants. 



THE GERMAN IRIS (Iris Germanica), fre- 

 quently termed "Flags," are among the most 

 showy, beautiful and valuable of early blooming 

 Hardy Perennials. They bloom with the greatest 

 profusion in spring and early summer, the flowers

 tastic structure, and in the richness, purity and 

 exquisite shadings of color.

 drooping ones "falls."
