to plant early in July or August, for tho the rhizomes are 
smaller then, the root system will get established before 
danger of the frost heaving them. The small plant in the il¬ 
lustration is normal for that iris. We do our very best to give 
the finest that can be grown in the variety you select, and 
succeeded so well that one customer said, "they just about 
took my breath away.’’ 
White irises have always fascinated me, and I feel that Pur- 
issima, for instance, is one of the finest creations in the 
kingdom of flowers, when in its ideal environment. White 
should be used more in planning harmonious color schemes, 
as a foil for colors that "fight," and with yellow to en¬ 
liven and accent dark somber spots.
