Spurias 
(We ship these in the fall only. We can move them locally at other times of year.) 
The Iris in this group should be grown much more extensively than they are at the pres¬ 
ent time. The flowers last for a long time and the buds keep opening after cutting. In shape 
the flowers are almost identical with the Dutch and Spanish Iris and are as easy to handle 
without injury. The flower stalks, however, are from 4 to 6 feet high. The foliage is swordlike, 
as in the preceding group, but dies down during the winter. The plants are very effective in 
any other spuria, the falls being 4 inches long 
by 2 inches wide and the standards 31/2 inches 
tall by IV 4 inches wide. Because of its out¬ 
standing superiority, this variety was awarded 
Honorable Mention by the A. S. I.
