IRIS 
IRIS GERMANICA 
These are the hardy garden Irises, often called Fleur 
d’lis or Flag Lilies. They are lovely subjects for beds, 
borders and mass effects in perennial gardens. Their 
flowers rival orchids in beauty, and many are delight¬ 
fully fragrant. There have been hundreds of new var¬ 
ieties produced in recent years, some of which are de¬ 
cided improvements, others are very similar to the older 
varieties. We have endeavored to select the most out¬ 
standing of these novelties and the better older varieties. 
Iris thrive In any garden soil, requiring only proper 
drainage, and full or partial sunlight.
