IRIS 
Sometimes  known  as  "Flags"  and  often  spoken 
of  as  "  Fleur  de  Lis."  Popular  herbaceous  plants 
that  come  up  year  after  year,  and  each  season 
stronger  and  more  floriferous  than  the  previous. 
They  grow  in  clumps  and  do  well  in  almost  any 
soil ;  are  desirable  in  borders  and  shrubbery  and 
are  beautiful  in  beds  and  groups  by  themselves, 
and  for  planting  along  water  edges.  The  flowers 
embrace  a  variety  of  colors  and  innumerable  tints 
of  blue,  yellow  and  white.  Those  of  the  German 
forms  are  not  so  delicately  colored,  nor  are  they 
so  large  as  the  flowers  of  the  Japanese  varieties. 
They  bloom  the  latter  part  of  May  and  are  through 
flowering  the  last  of  June,  when  the  Japanese  Iris 
are  brilliant  with  their  wealth  of  flowers.  Both  are 
needed  to  give  a  continuous  effect  from  May  to  July.
