Regelia Irises and Their Relatives 
Have something different in your garden from what your neighbor has'. There is 
absolutely nothing else like these large dusky heavily veined flowers, of colors 
inconceivable until you see them. They bloom in the middle of May before the 
regular irises, and average 10” to 18" in height. They want the dryest spot in 
the garden; in fact, they love it if it dries out to dust where they are planted, 
and they do not want to be watered in the summer.Dear Gardiner - can you imagine 
anything nicer to have, if you are going away for a long vacation? 
ARTEMIS. All dark. 
DILKUSH. A rich violet and red-purple 
DORAK. Clear light violet and purple.

Bulbous Irises 
Dutch Irises. These irises are best known through 
the florists' windows,but are very satisfactory 
when planted outside. We find that the bulbs 
sometimes deteriorate after two years, but they 
are inexpensive enough, so that one can treat 
them as biennials. Plant them in the fall,about 
4" deep,and give them a generous mulch of peat¬ 
moss. We can furnish them in assorted colors:- 
white, yellow and various shades of blue. 12".

hardy in the north, and will prove an interest¬ 
ing addition to the garden, as it is absolutely 
distinct from any other iris. It flowers in 
April. Plant the bulbs about 4" deep and give 
a generous mulch. 12". Fall delivery.Each$l.00
