TALL BEARDED IRISES 
(And Late Intermediates) 
This group, which comprises the great bulk of the 
Pogoniris varieties, should be too well known, it would 
seem, to require any introduction. It is obvious, 
nevertheless, that not all home-owners are aware of 
the possibilities afforded by it for the beautification 
of their home grounds. Their ease of culture, hardi¬ 
ness, adaptability, brilliancy and diversity of colors, 
and stately charm, should commend these plants to 
the attention of all who appreciate beautiful flowers. 
Their blooming season closely follows that of the 
Intermediates, and in my garden extends from about 
the second week in May to the second week in June.
