Some customers are interested in irises for certain locations in their gardens. For the 
sunny border, plant any of the bearded irises, i.e., dwarfs, early intermediates and tall; also 
the Siberians and Japanese if these can be watered while coming into bloom; many of the 
taller species. For the edge of the pool, use the Siberians, the Japanese, the Spurias and 
again, many of the species. For light shade or moist places, where the water does not stand 
on the plants in winter, plant the Siberians and the Japanese. For an exceptionally dry corner, 
experiment with the Regelias. In the rock garden use the early dwarf bearded, the smaller 
species, and the bulbous irises. We are always glad to help with planting plans, if customers 
will submit their problems. 
It is a pleasure to be able to announce that from now on, we shall have the honor of 
introducing Miss Sturt^evant’s originations. Her irises have a grace of poise, a fineness of 
finish and a delicacy of coloring that make them well-loved. It may be of interest to our readers 
to know that the American Iris Society has recently given Miss Sturtevant a gold medal in 
recognition of her pioneer work in breeding irises, in this country. We have also been fortunate 
in obtaining a collection of about 40 very fine imported Japanese irises; details about these 
next year! 
For those who may not be acquainted with iris catalogues, we take time to say that the 
parenthesis after each variety contains the name of the originator and the date of introduction. 
The letters following certain varieties refer to awards given that iris; H.M., A.I.S. is Honorable 
Mention by the Am. Iris Society; A.M. is Award of Merit, and an iris must have an H.M., 
to be eligible for this; the Dykes’ Medal is the highest honor that can be given an iris in this 
country, and may be given to one variety each year. Hereafter, only irises that have been 
in commerce for five years, and have proved themselves worthy in widely separated parts of 
the country, can receive the Dykes. Other letters refer to the English and French societies. 
Once more our catalogue is ready for you; once more the garden is waiting to show you 
its joys; once more we extend to each of you a most cordial invitation to visit Over-the-Garden- 
Wall in person, or by letter, as often as possible.
