Japanese Iris 
German Iris 
Rich in Color 
Profuse in Flower 
These lovely flowers have been called “Orchids of the Garden.” Even the most matter-of-fact 
gardener will admit that few perennials are more gay and colorful. They will grow and bloom any¬ 
where—sun or shade, good soil or poor soil, attention or neglect mean little to Iris, they thrive 
anyway. All the varieties in the list are highly rated by the American Iris Society (none less than 
6.5 points) which vouches for the quality of plant and bloom. 
In planting, do not cover the roots more than 2 inches, nor use manure as a plant-food. Bone- 
meal or Vigoro may be used sparingly. 
15 cts. each, 80 cts. for 6, $1.60 per doz., $12.50 per 100.

These are not half as much appreciated as they should be. They are the latest blooming and the 
tallest growing and the most beautiful of the Iris. They prefer moist land but will grow on ordinary 
soil. They are permanent and we believe you will be pleased with your trial of them. Water well 
at blooming-time. 
We have tested these for several years and list a collection of best varieties chosen for color and 
vigor—listed by name and letter; order either way. Plant only in the spring.
