Iris—The Rainbow Flower 
I RIS PLANTS are extremely hardy, easy to grow and give an abundance 
of showy, colorful flowers. They prefer a sunny location and a shallow 
planting. To help you make selections the varieties are grouped according 
to their prevailing color effect. In the description the "S" refers to the stan¬ 
dards (upright petals) and ''F'' to the falls (lower petals). 
Prices are for strong, sturdy root divisions. A 10% discount is allowed 
from the each price when 5 or more of a variety are ordered. (Please add
