Miniature Beardless Iris for the Rock Garden 
There are a few exceedingly interesting varieties in this section, which are practic¬ 
ally unknown, even to the Iris enthusiast, yet they are charming plants for the rock gar¬ 
den, or as a ground cover, some of them also being especially suitable for shady loca¬ 
tions. They are hardy and easy to grow. Cultural directions accompany all shipments.

CRESTED IRIS 
In this very interesting section the “Beard” of the Pogoniris is replaced by a “Crest,” 
like a cocks comb, the crest being of the same substance as the petals. In some varie¬ 
ties they are much fringed, adding greatly to the attractiveness of the flower. The mark¬ 
ings on some of them remind one of bits of beautifully hand painted porcelain. All are 
especially suited to the rock garden, or the edge of a small bed, excepting Milesii, which is 
much taller than the rest. Cultural directions accompany all shipments.
