LIBERTY IRIS OR FLEUR-DE-LIS 



The National Flower of France 

 The upright petals are termed "stands," the drooping ones, ''falls." 



It would be difficult to surpass in form or variety of exquisite colors these varieties of Iris; 

 for almost any color, except bright red, can be found among them. They invariably flower in 

 profusion and' are so hardy and sturdy they succeed with very little care. All are splendid for 



use as cut flowers in addition to their value for lawn adornment.
