Table I rises 
How many of us have endeavored to create a picture for the table out of 
irises? And have we given up in despairl The tall rigid stems that we demand 
in our garden irises most certainly do not lend themselves to the grace needed 
for the dining table. In England Miss Pesel offers a prize each year,for irises 
of less than 24"in height.These low-growing irises are there called "Pesels". 
Two years' ago, our Miss Williamson coined the name "Table irises", which is now 
in general use in America.The requirements for this class are small dainty flow¬ 
ers, gracefully poised on slender wiry stems;the foliage must be in proportion. 
These Table irises bloom with the tall bearded.

Early Dwarf Irises 
The early dwarf iris fill a very special corner in the gardener's heart - they 
bloom so early, so gaily, so fragrantly! Cherish a few of the named varieties; 
plant masses of the unnamed seedlings for a colorful carpet, running up the side 
of the rock garden, or in front of the border. For best results, divide every 
two years, soon after blooming, using a little well-rotted manure or commercial 
fertilizer. The latter may also be applied to advantage in early spring.
