Burgess’ Choice Iris 
Bearded or German Iris 
The German Iris is one of the most beautiful of hardy garden 
plants. Will grow almost anywhere, in out-of-the-way corners, 
among shrubbery, etc., but for best results plant in a well drained 
sunny situation, barely covering the roots. Avoid fresh manure 
in preparing the bed. They require very little care, and will re¬ 
main in the ground from year to year. 
In the descriptions “S” denotes the stands or upright petals 
and “F” denotes the falls or drooping petals. The figures fol¬ 
lowing descriptions refer to the height of the flowering stem.
