Iris Germanica * German Iris; Fleur-de-Lis 
The greatest range of color is found in this section—from 
pure white through all shades of mauve to blue and dark purple, 
including marvelous “smoky” or “pastel” shades, rich bronze-red, 
mahogany, golden brown, yellow, buff, and lemon. The flowers 
rival orchids in beauty and structure, and they have a delicate 
fragrance that seems to be only a natural accompaniment of such 
wonderful blooms. A well-drained, sunny location, with the 
rhizomes just covered with soil, is about all the planting advice 
needed. 
In this list are gathered the novelties of other years that have 
made good. The grower who is not interested particularly in 
having the newest things on the market will find it sufficiently 
extensive to acquire a splendid collection of magnificent varieties 
at a comparatively low cost. A few in this list are still rare, or 
are of exceptional merit, and the price of such is above the average. 
But whatever the price may be, they are worth far more in enjoy¬ 
ment when they open their beautiful flowers. Be liberal in 
selection; you won’t regret it! In the descriptions following, “S” 
represents standards or upper petals; “ F” falls or lower petals. 
Their blooming period ranges from May to June. The figures 
following the name indicate the rating accorded each variety by 
the American Iris Society, on the basis of 10 for perfection. 
We have based our prices according to the value of each variety.
