f !’ er^ o.’ idea for a succession of 1 light blue or lavender colors 
is t' p*a-t the early flcwerirg Purr.ila Coerulea as a border, next a 
row of Hybrid Pumila, Princess Louise ane one of Pallida Folia 
Variegata, while back of them all the stately Dalmatica with its im¬ 
mense, beautiful flowers, would complete a long season of continu¬ 
ous bloom. 
There is no flower grown that is finer for cutting than the Iris. 
Nothing could be more beautiful and artistic than a spray of Iris 
bloom with some of the foliage. 
They will last a long time if fresh water is supplied daily, and if 
the withered flowers are removed, the buds will develope and open, 
thus lasting many days. 
IRIS, SIBIRICA.
