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 flower 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.

SIBERIAN IRIS 



Iris Siberica 



The flowers of the Siberian Iris appear in lavish 

 profusion just as Fleur-de-Lis are waning. They are 

 somewhat smaller than the flowers of the German 

 Iris, but are more dainty and refined, and are born 

 on long slender stems. They prefer a moist situ- 

 ation. 



SIBERICA.— Pure, clear Yale blue. 



SIBERICA ORIENT ALIS.— Even more profuse 

 in bloom than the species; flowering about a week 

 later. Flowers rich velvety violet purple. 



SNOW QUEEN.— A white form of I. Siberica 

 Orientalis with all the refined beauty and lavish 

 profusion of bloom of that grand variety. The 

 flowers are pure milk white. Each, 15c; dozen, 

 $1.50; 100, $10.00. 



Price, strong roots, except as noted, each, 12c; 

 dozen, $1.25; 100, $8.00.
