Iris 



The memory of the "Blue Flag" of the old-time gar- 

 dens is one ever sweet to those whose lives were lived 

 in such surroundings, and while the "modern" Irises, 

 if we may use the term, will remind one of the old days, 

 they, too, like everything else of these days, have yielded 

 to the influence of improvement, and there has been 

 evolved a race of flowers absolutely bewildering in the 

 glory of their form and color.
