Japanese Iris 
Japanese Iris need an abundance of water at blooming time but not through¬ 
out the year. The flowers are large and flat, often 8 to 10 inches across, and are 
in white, blue, purple, pink and lavender. We ship in the fall and the spring, the 
latter probably being the best time to plant.

Permanent Iris Label 
Postpaid, 20 cents each; $17.50 per 100 
Due to popular demand we are this year offering our 
permanent labels for the convenience of those who wish to 
keep the names of their Iris or of other plants. The label is 
a stamped aluminum tag securely fastened to a stiff gal¬ 
vanized wire stake 21/2 ft. long. We believe this is an ideal 
label because it is always in a position easy to read and 
because it is entirely weatherproof. Simply send us the 
names of the Iris or other plants for which you desire per¬ 
manent labels. 
How to Improve Your Iris Garden

For satisfactory garden effects group 
at least three of a kind. 
Lift and separate Iris when crowded, 
about every three years. 
Put some yellows with the bronzes. 
Plant Iris in bold clumps against the 
shrubbery. 
Keep plants moderately moist in the 
Spring to obtain large flowers.
