IRIS

"The Iris is the rainbow personifled, a god- 
dess who visits us in garments of indescribable 
splendor, whose haiinonious interweaving of 
colors is beyond the l)rush of man." They 
ai-e an old favoiile, but in the great number 
of new and lieautiful colorings <uio hardly recog- 
nizes tlie old "Flags" of former days. Being 
exceedingly hardy, requiring such little care, 
withal so "beautiful, they should find a place 
in every garden.
