BEARDLESS SPECIES OF FLAG IRIS. 
The Iris offered in this section are all perfectly hardy, and are quite distinct from the preceding groups of 
Iris. The flowers in most cases are smaller, remarkable for their gracefulness, and in some instances there is a 
degree of refined beauty in the blossoms which is matchless. Some of the species are mars-h plants, others 
succeed in dry shallow soils, but, generally speaking, good well-drained garden soil will meet the requirements 
of most. Cristata is at home on dry banks and rock-work ; Iberica and Susiana thrive best in dry hot soils ; 
Fatidissima is most at home in a damp shady situation ; Ocktoleuca , in a moii-t soil ; Pseudo- A corns, in 
marshes- ; Sibirica is happy anywhere, even when grown as an aquatic ; Tectorum is found on the thatched 
roofs of Chinese houses. 
Cristata forms a tuft where it is happy, and when covered with its amethystine flowers is a gem. Iberica 
and Susiana possess a beauty peculiarly their own. Stylosa unfolds its charming blue blossoms in winter ; estab- 
lished masses of this plant are recommended to be potted up for indoor decoration. Tuberosa, the snakes- 
head Iris, is perhaps the most fantastic flower which March produces. Ruthenica is remarkable for its fan-like 
dwarf growth and elegant blue flowers in July ; Versicolor and Virginica are very beautiful ; while Orientalis 
is a form of Sibirica, with flowers larger, more decided in colour, and in refinement unsurpassed bv any other 
flower. Tridentata is also a gem ; Spuria major and Aurea are as remarkable as they are beautiful ; Longi- 
petala is very beautiful ; Graminea is remarkable for its gracelul foliage and distinctive flowers. s. d.
