GERMAN IRIS 



GERMAN IRIS or FLEUR-DE-LIS 



(IRIS GERMANICA) 



Those, the true Fleur-de-IJs — but Krf:itl.v iniprovi-d — are well termed "Gnrden Or- 

 chids" aud they fairly outrival the orchids in wide ranee of colorinR — both in dainty 

 coinbinationB and rich and vivid colors incIudinR yellows from li^ht canary to deep 

 golden; blues from soft lavender to intense purples, reds from pinkish mauve to claret 

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

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

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

 cut 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 

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

 shipment from Sept. 15 to Nov. 15. 1/ wanted by Parcel Post add postage at Zone Rates

JAPAN IRIS 



(IRIS KAEMPFERI) 



There are very few denizens of the flower garden that can compare with the Japan Iris 

 for brilliancy, and it is worthy of a prominent place in every garden. The flowers average 

 8 to 10 inches across and flash like watered silk in the sunlight. 



The Japan Iris besides being very free flowering is perfectly hardy and grows readily in 

 almost any situation, either sunny or partially shady; but the soil should be moist and the 

 plants well supplied with water when flowering. They bloom in great profusion in June 

 and throughout July, coming into bloom when other Irises are faded and gone which 

 to most flower lovers is an additional recommendation. After the ground freezes over 

 a light mulch of litter or manure will prevent heaving of the ground and a consequent 

 loss of plants. Ready September to November. // by Parcel Post add poslaye at !o>tc
