Iris 
Sometimes known as “Flags” and often 
spoken of as “Fleur de Lis.” Popular her¬ 
baceous plants that come up year after year, 
and each season stronger and more floriferous 
than the previous. They grow in clumps and 
do well in almost any soil; are desirable in 
borders and shrubbery and are beautiful in 
beds and groups by themselves, and for plant¬ 
ing along water edges. The flowers embrace 
a variety of colors and innumerable tints of 
blue, yellow and white. Those of the German 
forms are not so delicately colored, nor are 
they so large as the flowers of the Japanese 
varieties. They bloom the latter part of May 
and are through flowering the last of June, 
when the Japanese Iris are brilliant with their 
wealth of flowers. Both are needed to give a 
continuous effect from May to July.
