COLORFUL IRIS 
"The Orchids of the Garden" 
T HE Iris is deservedly a very popular perennial garden 
flower. The plants are extremely hardy, easy to 
grow most anywhere and the flowers are so showy 
and colorful as to merit their name.—"The Rainbow 
Flower." 
HOW TO PLANT —Place the roots just deep enough 
to be covered with soil and avoid any fresh manures as a 
fertilizer. Iris prefers a sunny location. 
NOTE—In the descriptions "S" refers to the "Standards" or 3 upright 
petals; "F" refers to the "Falls" or 3 lower petals. 
Prices are all for strong, sturdy, first-quality roots.
