The Garden Magnificent! 



and at so little cost 



Dutch, Spanish, & English Iris 



These Hardy Bulbous Iris must be planted in the Fall 



Iris will give your garden a maze of sparkling splendor— and is the garden really 

 complete without these dainty touches of color? 



These Iris differ from the Bearded and Japanese by producing bulbs instead of rhizomes. 

 These must be planted in the fall, the earlier the better and they have proved quite hardy. 

 Where winters are very severe they should be covered deeply with straw, hay, or leaves. 

 Excepting the English Iris they form foliage in the fall with the leaves persisting through- 

 out the winter. Cover the bulbs 4 to 6 inches deep.
