SIZE OF PLANTS. We furnish a division or rhizome and can 
supply clumps or larger plants in the common, strong-growing 
varieties at special prices. We do not advise planting clumps, be¬ 
cause in that case as soon as the plant is well established it is neces¬ 
sary to take it up for division and consequently no time is gained in 
securing good bloom. 
Tall Bearded Iris 
These include the true Germanica forms which flower during the 
last two weeks of May, and the later-blooming hybrids of Pallida 
and Variegata which have been known in gardens for over a hundred 
years and which bloom the last week of May and the first two weeks 
of June. Under this heading also are grouped the newer hybrids of 
Iris trojana, I. cypriana , and I. Ricardii. These produce wonderful 
flowers, but the hybrids of the two latter species do not always seem 
well adapted to northern conditions and should be given the driest, 
sunniest position and especial care.
