HARDY and 
BEAUTIFUL 
“The Flower for the Millions,”—so hardy, so utterly easy to grow, and so lovely in every 
way. Every springtime, without fail, they are back with their wealth of lily-like blooms, display- 
ing every color in the rainbow, from rich deep tones to delicate pastel shades. How graciously 
they lend themselves to any part of the home landscape—edging the pool, bordering the 
driveway or garden, or clumped in the perennial border. They like good, well drained soil 
and a sunny location; plant about 12 or 18 inches apart, barely covering the roots with soil. 
(If Iris are desired by parcel post, add 2c each, 5c for 5, 10c for 10, or 15c for 25 Iris).
