BEARDLESS IRISES (Apogon) 
Including Many Beautiful Species and Varieties 
The Apogon section comprises the tall, beardless Irises, and, next to the Pogoniris, are the most im¬ 
portant group under general cultivation. It will greatly simplify matters if one can remember that in this 
group are included all the moisture-loving kinds. Of these only two may be considered as semi-aquatics— 
our native Water-Flag (Versicolor) and the European Yellow Flag (Pseudo-acorus) which may be grown 
partially in the water. With these exceptions, it is safe to say that no Iris, however much it likes moisture, 
can be grown successfully where water habitually stands in winter. 
Culture. —All of the species in this group will grow luxuriantly in any good garden soil kept moist 
by frequent stirring, to prevent baking and frequent evaporation of moisture. 
For convenience in selecting, I have grouped together the varieties of similar habit. 
Unless noted, any plants in this book priced at 15 cts. each will be supplied at the rate of $1.50 per doz., 
$10 per 100. 25 cts. each, at $2.50 per doz., $15 per 100. 25 of a kind at the 100 rate
