fDfO Sometimes Called Flag, 
ii^-*"^ or Fleur de Lis Perfectly Hardy 
This is an extremely beautiful flower. It is easily grown, and no gar- 
den is complete without it. The Iris is a sun loving plant and will 
delight in a warm, well drained soil where the roots at tlie surface can 
become hardened in tlie sun. They will thrive well almost anywhere, 
except in low wet soils, and here the roots will decay. An endless array 
of colors will greet you upon looking over a large field of different varie- 
ties of Iris, because they will vary in color, some will be rich blue and 
delicate yellow, and some will be claret red and bronze, others will be 
pure white and all colors. . ' ; .
