Make Farr’s Irises Your Friends 
from March to Late November 
Each year brings new wonders in these dainty flowers. A few 
plants in a favorite corner of the garden, or a clump among the 
shrubbery, will reveal a variety of forms, with marvelous colors 
and markings that rival the peerless Orchids. Beginning with the 
dainty Dwarf Irises in March, your garden can have a succession 
of these “rainbow flowers” until the Japanese varieties fade under 
the August suns. 
Y’ou can have some of the rare kinds in bloom almost every month 
if you choose your plants from Farr's Wyomissing Collections. The Irises 
do not need a skillful gardner to make them bloom, but to secure the Quest 
flowers the roots should be set in August or early September. 
THE MOST COMPLETE COLLECTION OF IRISES AND PEONIES IN THE 
WORLD 
Year by year I have added to my gardens until now I have all the best 
German. Japanese, English and Spanish Irises, and a collection of Peonies 
unsurpassed in Europe or America. My experience convinces me that August 
and September are the months for successful planting. If you want to know 
more about my hardy perennials — and I am sure you do—write today for 
MY BOOK "FARR'S HARDY PLANTS.” 
This is a text book on Irises, Peonies, Phlox and other perennials. I want 
10 help you plan your garden, so you may know the joys of friendship with 
these plants.
