-FROM A MAGIC CU£SJ 

 OF T-HF. ARABIAN NIGWT5 



][F YOU would paint your landscape with 

 brilliance, or with bewitching pastoral tints,- 

 if you wish colorful border clumps, or if you 

 grow your flowers for cutting and indoor 

 enjoyment, the Iris, in some form or species, 

 will fill the need. The collecting of fine 

 irises, like the accumulating of rare paintings 

 or antiques, is a fascinating and inspiring 

 hobby. And best of all, no group of flow- 

 ers presents fewer obstacles to success. 



Among the world s finest and most varied 

 collections is the planting in our gardens. 

 The b eginnerwith flowers, with only a sma 

 sum to spend, will find a wealth of beauty 

 obtainable for a modest outlay And like- 

 wise, the estate owner and others to whom 

 expense is a secondary consideration wi 

 find the ultimate in rarity and perfection 

 offered within these pages.
