Iris 
(Fleur de Us) 
The Iris is the "Orchid'' of the flower garden. The blossoms of the Flag Iris are the most rich 
and varied in color of hardy plants, and should be extensively planted in flower and shrubbery borders, and 
naturalized in wild gardens. As a cut flower these Irises are invaluable, competing in richness and variety of 
color with the choicest and the most beautiful Orchids; useful as cut flowers as they last a long time in the 
water.
