PUBLISHER’S NOTES 
Mr. C. S. Harrison, of York, Neb., 
has recently issued, in association with 
Mr. S. H. King, another of his prac- 
tical helps to the cultivation of appro- 
priate flowering plants for outdoor deco- 
ration. “The Iris Manual,” as he terms 
this latest brochure, covers quite a 
neglected field, for although so beauti- 
ful a flower, the literature upon it is 
very scant indeed. It is often surpris- 
ing even in these days of trying to do 
everything that some quite fascinating 
plant suffers by the neglect of its admir- 
ers to make its beauty and usefulness 
better known, and it is quite certain 
that the Iris, in spite of its many beau- 
tiful varieties, its unique type of floral 
attractiveness, its gorgeous coloring and 
comparative easy culture, has not re- 
ceived its due. Mr. Harrison now takes 
hold of it and his pamphlet not only 
gives full directions for its care and cul- 
ture, but describes its many varieties and 
adds lists of the best known plants of 
the several classes with the necessary 
notes to help recognition or selection. A 
perusal of “The Iris Manual” will sur- 
prise many who, looking upon the com- 
mon “flag” is hardly worthy of particu- 
lar attention, have not known it to be a 
representative of a class of flowers sur- 
passing in delicate coloring and grace- 
fulness and worthy of the highest con- 
sideration. Mr. Harrison’s cultural di- 
rections are eminently practical and at
