In this short list of Irises we are including only those that we know 
to he of real merit and beauty, as each one has been tested in our own 
garden and fields. 
If you could but walk with us, here at Grinned, some early morn¬ 
ing, while the dew is still on the flowers and the bloom is at its best, we 
are sure that you would be enraptured by the hundreds—yes, thousands 
of the rare flowers. 
Seen early in the morning, n«o flower has a greater charm, a more 
tender and appealing beauty than the Iris. Its shading and blending 
of colors cannot be described, you simply feel it, the children feel it, 
and we all wonder at its rare beauty. Planted in mass before the shrub¬ 
bery, or on the border of the lawn, they are always a source of surprise 
and joy, so that you gaze in wonder at the changing colors, as they are 
gently tossed too and fro by the breeze. 
Buy them freely, plant them plentifully, and they will richly repay 
you with their beauty and fragrance. 
The price of each is for a single rhizone, while in all varieties, three 
rhizones will be sent for the price of two; prepaid in the U. S. if pay¬ 
ment accompanies the order, and if the order amounts to One Dollar or 
more; for orders of less than One Dollar, please add ten cents, to apply 
on the postage. 
Through July and August is the best time to plant the Iris, as by 
this time they have attained their growth, while the early planting al¬ 
lows them time to become anchored in the ground before frost, obviat¬ 
ing all danger of heaving during the winter.
