 bloom, and especially suited for mixed border and 

 water-side plantings.

 perennial hedges and backgrounds for other plants. 

 In colonies about house foundations and in garden 

 corners they scarcely have an equal. See page 86.

Iris. 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. Their colorings

 beds, in borders, along water edges and in both 

 formal and wild gardens.
