MORAEA. 
If you appreciate Iris you will thrill at the sight of 
Moraea. In foliage and shape of flowers they resemble the 
Iris but there the resemblance stops. Like most of the 
Iris they bloom heavily in Spring but neither warm nor 
cold weather seems to discourage them for they bloom 
throughout the year. Grow to two feet in height. Plant 
in sun. 
Bicolor. Flowers two inches across, yellow, with beautiful 
brown spots at the base of the segments. 3 inch pots. 
15c each. Gal. containers 30c each. 
Iridioides. Flowers about three inches in diameter, white 
marked with lavender and yellow. 3 inch pots. 15c each, 
$1.50 doz. Gal. containers.
