Other American Beardless Species 
Hardy anywhere. All of these “Beardless Species”, including the Louisiana Species, 
Asiatic Species, Spurias and also the Beardless Hybrids, flower between the time the Tall 
Bearded Iris finish flowering and the Japanese Iris begin to bloom. They thus fill in a 
gap when we would otherwise be without Iris, but fortunately we have about 150 Species 
and Hybrids that fill in this intervening period. 
These Beardless Species are of course the hardiest of all Irises and are suitable for al¬ 
most any location, but excepting where otherwise noted, they prefer a somewhat moist lo¬ 
cation and acid soil. The application of peat and well rotted stable manure is best for 
them. Planting and cultural directions accompany all shipments.
