ENGLISH IRIS 



If you have never grown this beautiful Iris, try a few bulbs; you 

 will be delighted. They thrive in any ordinary garden soil, 

 multiply very rapidly, and are unexcelled for cut flowers. They 

 bloom in late June and early July. Need some protection in 

 severe climates. Plant about 4 inches deep, during September. 

 Of all the bulbous Iris, these are our favorites. A bouguet of these 

 lovely flowers will be found as strikingly beautiful in color as 

 many of the sumptuous orchids. Make lovely corsages.

DUTCH IRIS 



This group of Bulbous Iris is of recent introduction. They are very 

 superior to the old Spanish types; having more substance, bloom 

 earlier, and stems are longer. The brilliancy and purity of color 

 of these orchid-like flowers is unsurpassed. As cut flowers they 

 remain in good condition for a remarkable length of time, and in 

 the garden have a blooming range of about six weeks. Although 

 they are very hardy, a mulch will be beneficial in extreme cli- 

 mates. Plant 5 inches deep. 



IMPERATOR. Later blooming than the true Dutch irises, connecting them with 

 the Spanish. Deep blue standards and falls. Large, free flowering and a 

 vigorous grower. 60c doz. 



WEDGEWOOD. This light blue iris is especially popular because of its early 

 flowering — two weeks or more earlier than any of the other varieties. Not 

 recommended for any sub-zero climate. Large flowers of bright Wedgewood 

 blue. Strong heavy stems. 60c doz. 



WHITE EXCELSIOR. 22". Uniform pure white, falls very broad with yellow 

 stripe. 60c per dozen. 



YELLOW QUEEN. 28". Clear golden yellow. Unexcelled for cutting. 60c doz.
