 outrival th(! orchids in wide rangi' of coloring — including yellows fpom

 reds from pinkish mauve to claret and maroon, bi^autiful l)ronzes and 

 pure whites. Some; are marked and margin(*l with other colors in 

 exquisite; harmony atid all have showy yellow or orange crests or beards, 

 many of the varieties being delightfully fragrant. As cut flowers they 

 are higldy prized as the flowers 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 

 thriving and increasing year after year in any sunny situation in 

 ordinarily good soil. Our collection contains many new and choi<!(; 

 varieties, and we arc confident many of them will prove revelations of 

 beauty to Iris lovers. The roots should be divided and replanted every 

 fourth year — early in September is the best time for the plants are then 

 dormant. The; roots an; ready for shipment from September l.'Sth to 

 November 15th.
