Other American Beardless Species 
Hardy anywhere. All of these "Beardless Species/’ as well as the Louisiana Species, Asiatic Species, Spurias and 
also the Beardless Hybrids, flower between the time the Tall Bearded Iris finish flowering and the Japanese Iris begin 
to bloom. They thus fill in a gap when we would otherwise be without Iris, but fortunately we have about 150 
Species and Hybrids that fill in this intervening period. 
These Beardless Species are of course the hardiest of all Irises and are suitable for almost any location, but excepting 
where otherwise noted, they prefer a somewhat moist location and acid soil. The application of peat and well 
rotted stable manure is best for them. Planting and cultural directions accompany all shipments.
