Miniature Bearded Iris 
This group is the result of crossing two distinct species, one of which is Pumila found in Austria-Hungary, South 
Russia or the Caucasus; the other is Chamaeiris, which is native to Southern France and Northern Italy. Pumila is a 
stemless Iris, whereas Chamaeiris produces its flowers on stems 6 to 10 inches in height. By crossing these, our modern 
miniature Irises have been produced, with all of the beauty of Iris Pumila, on the flowering stems of Chamaeiris, and with 
all of the ruggedness of the latter variety. The results of these crosses have been charming beyond description. They 
have, in miniature form, all the characteristics of the Tall Bearded Iris and are prodigious bloomers. They begin to 
flower in April in our northern states and continue to the middle of May. 
Make a planting of these dainty miniatures in your Rock Garden or along the edge of your perennial border. You 
will be charmed with the results. Planting and cultural directions accompany all shipments. Hardy anywhere.

red-purple, with white tipped 
beard. 15

stock of this variety enables me to 
make an unusually low price for 
such a fine Iris. . 25

duction for 1934. LARGE FLOW¬ 
ER. An exceedingly beautiful variety.
