THE JOY OF GARDENING is the reason behind the fact that this has become America's most 

 popular hobby. It has been said that, unlike most other diversions or leisure time activities, a garden 

 and flow ers are working for you around the clock — even when you sleep! The growing grass, the 

 lengthening stem, the swelling bud, all are working 24 hours a day to reach that state of perfection 

 you have dreamed about and hope for. What greater or more satisfying thrill than to walk out into 

 the garden in the early morning and behold for the first time the first bloom of a new variety, be 

 it Iris, Rose, Peony, Gladiolus, Dahlia or any one of a thousand and one others! 



THE PERENNIAL 

 SUPREME! 



Of all the flowers 

 that grow, few, if 

 any, can surpass 

 the Iris for ease 

 of culture, long 

 life and adapta- 

 bility to a wide 

 range of soil and 

 climate. Color? 

 Why, these new kinds 

 offer the most ex- 

 citing color range 

 of any flower that 

 grows. Many are 

 gigantic in size — 

 7 inches in diameter! 

 There are tall ones, 

 short ones, and a 

 host of average 

 height. You can 

 have them early, 

 mid-season and late. 

 Yes, the Iris is 

 truly the peren- 

 nial supreme . . . and 

 so easy to grow!
