German Iris or Fleur-de-Lis 



The improved varieties of German Iris, or "Flags," rival choice Orchids in exquisite color and beauty. 

 For more than twenty-five years I have been perfecting my collection of this beautiful spring flower by se- 

 curing every variety offered, in Europe or America testing and discarding all that were not distinct and 

 choice; until I am confident the list I offer is unrivalled by that to be had of any other nursery in the United 

 States. 



German Iris, like Peonies, should be planted in the autumn for best results.
