IRISES—Fall Blooming 
strides in Iris development, the public have acquired a keener discernment and, 
year by year, we are judging our gardens by newer and better standards. 
The members of the Garden Club of America recently voted the Iris our most 
popular garden flower, and authorities everywhere praise it as the finest single 
hardy perennial. This is a well deserved distinction, because, with its dainty refine¬ 
ment, with the delicate poise of the Orchid, it presents a wider range of coloring, 
will withstand more negelct and abuse and will thrive under more widely varied 
and less favorable conditions than any other garden flower. 
PRICES 
Never before have prices of the finest Irises been so low. 
Don't make the mistake of thinking that you must buy the new, enthusi¬ 
astically described Irises in order to be sure of having good varieties. This is a 
Golden Age of Irises, and one can obtain simply marvelous sorts at extremely low

travel the highways of display advertising and official observation.

FALL BLOOMING IRISES 
The fall blooming of Irises is still more or less experimental in the northern 
states. The following list includes a number of the best performers in this respect. 
After a brief rest period in June, they should be well supplied with bone meal and 
watered thoroughly once a week. A protected, sunny location is helpful.
