iRIStS. Iris Germanica. {Fleur de Lis.) 

 Farquhar's Fleur de Lis were awarded a silver medal by the Massachusetts Horticultural Society. 



German Irises thrive in a well drained and sunny situation and the finest blooms are obtained from established clumps, consequently 

 when planted they should remain undisturbed for at least five or six years. The plants may be given a light covering of leaves or salt hay 

 (not manure) during Winter. When transplanting barely cover the rhizomes. 



In the descriptions (S) is used to signify standards or the erect petals; (F) falls or the drooping petals.
