ROYAL IRIS GARDENS 
1 934 
Other American Species 
These are very pretty and artistic Irises, with dainty blooms and beautiful foliage, most of 
them fine as cut flowers, and with unusual and beautiful colors. They are not as tall and 
large as the Louisiana Species, but are dainter, and of course different. With the exception 
of Missouriensis, all of these species can be planted along streams, as they will stand water 
freezing around them in the Winter, which the Japanese and Louisianas cannot stand; they 
will also grow and bloom well in the cultivated garden. Missouriensis blooms early, but 
the others bloom after the Tall Bearded.

Other Beardless Species 
Species that do not fit into any of the other groups, but most nearly resemble Other Amei'ican 
ttpecies in culture and appearance. Albopurpurea has exceedingly unusual blooms that never 
fail to arouse enthusiasm on the part of the observer; it is unique among Irises. Its blooms 
are irregularly mottled with white on a ground of vivid blue, and the blooms themselves are 
irregular in shape, giving a delightfully informal and artistic effect. Pseudacorus is easily 
naturalized along streams, and makes a glorious mass of shoulder high foliage, that stays a 
rich green throughout the season.
