These lovely flowers have been called "Orchids of the Garden." Even the most 
matter-of-fact gardener will admit that few perennials are more gay and colorful. 
They will grow and bloom anywhere—sun or shade, good soil or poor soil, atten¬ 
tion or neglect mean little to Iris, they thrive anyway. All the varieties in the list 
are highly rated by the American Iris Society (none less than 7.4 points) which 
vouches for the quality of plant and bloom. 
In planting, do not cover the roots more than 2 inches, nor use manure as a 
plant food. Bone meal may be used sparingly. 
I 5c each; 80c for 6; $1.60 per doz.; $12.50 per 100.

<J, 
These are not half as much appreciated as they should be. They are the 
latest blooming and the tallest growing and the most beautiful of the Iris. 
They prefer moist land but will grow on ordinary soil. They are permanent 
and we believe you will be pleased with your trial of them. Water well at 
blooming time. Plant only in the spring. 
We have tested these for several years and list a collection of best varie 
ties chosen for color and vigor—listed by name and letter; order 
either way. 
Good clumps at 30c each; $1.25 for 5. 
Siberian Iris 
These follow the German Iris in blossom and prove quite an addi¬ 
tion to the garden or border. The leaves are thin, long, and graceful 
and the flowers are usually nestled in the foliage, just showing their 
blossoms. More dependable than Spanish Iris and should be planted. 
We offer two colors: Blue and White. 15c each; 80c for 6; $1.60 
per doz.
