GERMAN IRISES, continued 
Quality of Stock. My stock of 
these is superfine and cannot be ex- 
celled. Of course they are divided 
to so-called single crowns, but in 
many cases there are two or three 
strong crowns of most vigorous 
quality connected. They are always 
taken fresh from the ground and 
shipped in moist sphagnum moss so 
that there is hardly a setback to 
their growth. In our collections 
this high standard is adhered to, and 
every plant or bunch of a sort is 
labeled carefully with wire labels.
