IRIS 
Iris germanica, commonly called German Iris, Flag-Lilies or 
Fleur de Lis, are 'amongst the most desireable and easiest 
grown of our spring flowering plants. The flowers fairly out¬ 
rival the orchids in delicacy of structure and wide range of 
coloring. They are particularly adapted to our California cli¬ 
mate, if planted in a well-drained sunny location, requiring 
very little water during the summer. Avoid planting too deep 
and fresh manure. 
Planting Season: 
September-November, or later, if the ground is not too wet. 
Price for strong divisions: 20 cents each, $2.00 per doz.
