THE WORLD’S FINEST SIBERIAN IRIS 
Russia and Central Europe are the home of Iris “Siberica”, while “Orientalis” conies from 
Manchuria and Japan. These two species have been crossed and the qualities and characteristics 
of both parents have been blended together and intermingled to produce a race that is now 
commonly called “Siberian Irises”. 
These dainty flowers are not so large as the Tall Bearded or the Japanese Iris, hut they 
are borne in the greatest profusion. They are hardy anywhere, of the easiest culture, and are 
most accommodating of all Irises, as they will flower profusely in full sun or semi-shade, in a 
damp or a dry spot, their preference being for a moist spot. A single plant when established 
will form a clump that will produce 50 or more flower stalks. The flowers grow on thin, hollow 
stems, and have ornamental, grass-like foliage. In addition to being unusually ornamental for 
the home garden, they are especially fine for landscape work or for bordering a brook or pond, 
where they should be just above the water line. They will take care of themselves any¬ 
where. As cut flowers, and for artistic arrangements they are exquisite. 
Devote a spot in your garden to the lovely Siberian Iris. They will fill it with beauty.

BEARDLESS IRIS SPECIES AND HYBRIDS 
COLLECTION OF BEARDLESS IRIS SPECIES AND HYBRIDS 
For continuation of the Iris flowering season noth¬ 
ing is more important than these marvelous and little 
known Beardless Iris Species and Hvbrids, for they 
fill in the gap in the flowering season between the 
Tall Bearded Iris and the Japanese Iris, flowering 
throughout the month of June in our Northern gar¬ 
dens (a month earlier in the South) and continuing 
in bloom until the Japanese Iris are in full flower. 
This group consists of attractive European, Asiatic 
and American Species; and many beautiful hybrids 
created by crossing these various types. 
The flowers are ideal for cutting as they lend them¬ 
selves naturally to the most artistic arrangements. 
They are not only different in form from all other 
Iris, but each variety also has an individual distinc¬ 
tion of form and color all its own. 
They are fine for any part of the garden, but es¬ 
pecially useful for the semi-shady nook where other 
Iris would not do so well. There is a congenial spot 
in every garden where these beauties will make them¬ 
selves at home. They are hardy anywhere, and once 
planted they may be left to themselves for years. 
There is nothing that surpasses them for naturalizing 
in bold masses. 
Here are just a few of the most attractive of these 
Beardless Species and Hybrids: 
FULVA—A color not approached in any 
other Iris. (See color illustration.) A 
native of our Southern States .$ .75 
DOROTHY K. WILLIAMSON—A rich in¬ 
tense velvety royal purple hybrid. No 
color plate can begin to do it justice .25 
GIGANTICOERULEA—The finest of the 
newly discovered Louisiana Species. A 
huge violet blue flower that will grow 5 
feet high in a favorable location . 1.00 
KAEMPFERI—Collected in Japan. The 
Daddy of our modern family of Japanese 
Iris. Handsome rich red-purple . 
MRS. A. W. TAIT-—-A fine porcelain-blue 
Spuria with flowers much like the Dutch 
or Spanish Iris . 
PSEUDACORUS—An English Species. Deep 
yellow. Excellent for growing in a pool, 
but equally at home anywhere in the gar¬ 
den . 
KERMESIANA—A magnificent claret-red 
hybrid. Fine for the garden and exquisite 
as a cut flower .
