German Iris 
(Iris Germanic a. ~) 
THESE old garden favorites are always welcome. 
Of easiest culture, they can be depended upon 
to give a bountiful yield of bloom. There is 
the greatest diversity of colors and form among the 
varieties now offered. The plants are extremely 
hardy and seldom fail to live when transplanted. 
After having grown for three or four years in a 
place they are better for a dividing up and trans- 
planting.
