GERMAN IRIS or FLEUR-DE-LIS 



(IRIS GERMANICA) 



These, the true Fleur-de-Lls — but greatly improved — are well termed "Garden Or- 

 chids" and they fairly outrival the orchids in wide range of coloring — both in dainty 

 combinations and rich and vivid colors including yellows from light canary to deep 

 golden; blues from Boft lavender to intense purpleB, reds from pinkish mauve to claret 

 and maroon, beautiful bronzes and pure whites then some are marked and margined with 

 other colors in exquisite, harmony, and all have showy yellow or orange crests or beards, 

 many of the varieties are delightfully fragrant. As cut flowers they are highly prized, 

 out in the bud state the flowers will open in succession and last for several days with 

 stems in water. For garden and landscape decoration — groups and masses of them are 

 very effective, being perfectly hardy. 



Our collection contains many new and choice varieties, and we are confident they will 

 prove revelations of beauty to Iris lovers. The roots should be divided and replanted \Afc^^_ 



every fourth year in September as the plants are then dormant. The roots are ready for 

 shipment from Sept. 15 to Nov. 15. // wanted by Parcel Post add postage at Zone Ratet
