Selected Iris 
The Iris is one of our specialties and it gives us great pleasure to be able to 
offer our customers the following splendid varieties. In getting together the propa¬ 
gating stock of our present Iris we have selected the best we could find in the collec¬ 
tions of many growers. 
The name Iris is from the Greek meaning rainbow, and it is appropriate as these 
flowers have gathered all the tints of earth and sky and made them their own. The 
charm of a bed of mixed Iris is one of the keenest pleasures of June. The graceful 
beauty of the flowers; running through the whole gamut of color and produced in the 
most riotous profusion together with their exquisite fragrance make them one of the 
most beloved flowers in flowerdom. The plants have a decorative value for bordering 
and edging as their rich, green foliage looks attractive throughout the season.
