8 Hardy Perennial Plants—Iris and Poppy 
The STORRS & HARRISON CO 
IRIS 
Irises are used for gar¬ 
den clumps ; for borders 
in ^olid rows or evenly 
spaded groups; in the 
foreground of shrubbery 
groups, and to some ex¬ 
tent in narrow spaces 
against the foundation — 
as much on account of 
their compact, hedging fo¬ 
liage so attractive all the 
year, as for the beauty of 
their flowers. Both Irises 
and the Poppies listed on 
this page are ready to 
transplant immediately, 
and should be planted as 
early as possible.
