A water-side planting of Iris from our Nurseries, 



Iris. Fleur-de-Lis 



POPULAR herbaceous plants that come up year after year, and each season become stronger and more 

 floriferous than the previous. They grow in clumps and do well in almost any soil. Their colorings have 

 a wide range and many are delicate in pencilings of softest shades. They can be appreciated in beds, 

 in borders, along water-edges and in both formal and wild gardens. 



In the following descriptions the upper petals of the flowers are referred to as standards, while the 

 lower petals are known as falls.
