OVER THE 

 HILLS and 

 FAR AWAY 



S. stretch the long 



rows of iris plants, green 

 with the vigor of healthy 

 growth that comes with 

 clean cultivation, mellow 

 sandy loam, and annual 

 dividing and resetting in 

 a new location. 



They do not know the 

 soft caress of semi-tropic 

 climate, the magic of 

 trick fertilization, nor the 

 fatness produced through 

 irrigation. 



They are tempered by 

 freezing in the w inter 

 time and are cured by 

 rainless summers. 



Rhizomes so grown pro- 

 \ide the greatest assur- 

 ance of bloom the first 

 season, a liberal increase 

 in your o\\ n garden, and 

 freedom from diseases 

 and pests.
