GERMAN IRIS 
No flower creates more interest than the German 
Iris. The rapid improvement that has been made in 
bringing out new varieties has made the field large 
and we have selected what we think is the best of all 
the new and some of the older varieties. The selec¬ 
tion found here covers the color range and we have 
been particular to select the strongest growers and 
only those that are hardiest in our locality. 
Iris thrive best in good rich garden loam, dug 
deep, but will do well in almost any soil. They need 
full sun and should have no manure or fertilizer 
but plenty of bonemeal. Break up the clumps and 
replant every three or four years, planting the 
rhizomes so that the roots are just covered. 
In our list, S—Standards or upper petals; F— 
Falls, or lower petals. Each variety is followed by 
the name of the originator and date of introduction. 
Alcazar (Vilmorin 1910). S. light mauve; F. deep 
purple. A very handsome dark Iris. Recom¬ 
mended as a specimen plant for the lawn. 25c. 
each. 
Aubade ( Novelty ) (Connell, 1931). A gorgeous 
and gratifying novelty in the buff and tan pastel 
shades. $5.00 each.

lavender, broad waved at the margins; F. a little
