Hardy Perennial Plants M 



GERMAN IRIS (Fleur de Lis) 



IRIS GERMANICA or "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 resembling large Orchids in their delicate, 

 fantastic structure, and in the richness, purity 

 and exquisite shadings of color. The upright 

 petals are termed "stands," the drooping ones 

 "falls."
