IRISES 
IRIS SIBIRICA 
The Siberian Irises comprise one of the most valuable Iris 
groups, and one that merits wider recognition in our plantings. 
When their requirements are understood, they are the easiest of 
all the Irises to grow. Their varied habits of growth and their 
colorful display of bloom add much to the possibilities of garden 
planning. Their long, slender stems and the enduring substance 
of the flowers make them the most desirable Irises for cutting and 
for interior decoration. 
The Sibiricas are naturally adapted to landscape and decora¬ 
tive plantings. Their graceful, grass-like foliage is vigorous and 
retains its beauty throughout the entire season, while their pro¬ 
fusion of bloom affords brilliant and effective coloring. They will 
thrive in the cultivated border, or in any strong, rich soil, and are 
thoroughly at home in naturalized plantings or when used to fill 
in the odd corners. They are effective about the pool, surround¬ 
ing the bird bath, and when worked in about the rockery; and they 
are beautiful in border planting along the drive, or when massed 
along the watersides.

BEARDLESS IRISES 
Species and Miscellaneous Varieties 
In this group we offer several species and hybrid varieties that 
are very desirable. Many of them are suitable for planting in moist 
places and combine well with the other beardless Irises of the 
Sibirica group in decorative plantings. All will thrive in the well 
tilled border, and all should have advantage of full sun.
