Colorful IRIS 
The bright and varied colors of the Iris 
have led to the name “Rainbow Flower.” 
No hardy flower is better adapted to gen¬ 
eral planting than the Iris. Its beauty, its 
wide range of colors, its hardiness and 
ease of growth have made it one of the 
most generally planted flowers. Iris is 
usually planted in masses, 5 or 6 of a kind 
grouped with other varieties. In this man¬ 
ner the finest of flowering effects are 
achieved. Plant Iris in front of shrub¬ 
bery or in the flower garden. Line the 
walks with rows of Iris. Plant it around 
pools—along streams—among rocks. Its 
spikes of leaves are decorative the whole 
season. Iris is not particular as to soil but 
grows most anywhere where there is some 
sunlight and moisture. The easy culture 
of Iris makes it one of the best flowers 
for the home.

ASSORTED IRISES 
A mixture of good named Irises that 
will make an attractive border planting of 
the various colors. 
DWARF EARLY IRIS 
Pumila or Dwarf Iris are the first Iris 
to bloom in April. Large-flowered and 
sweet-scented. Especially valuable for 
the perennial border, edging or in the rock 
garden. Can furnish blue and white. 
SIBERIAN IRIS 
The Siberian Iris furnish a generous 
supply of medium sized flowers during 
June—just between the German and 
Japanese varieties. They are very showy, 
of slender, compact habit, with narrow, 
grassy foliage. The flowers are borne on 
upright stems 2 to 3 ft. tall. Mixed colors. 
JAPANESE IRIS 
These are the latest blooming of the 
Iris family, but their glorious display of 
handsome, large-sized flowers in many 
rich colors, makes them a most fitting 
close for the Iris season. The blooms gen¬ 
erally open rather flat and wide, often 
measuring 10 to 12 inches across, and 
appear in great profusion during June 
and July. 
SPANISH IRIS 
Although the flowers are not large, their 
shape and delicate coloring rival the Or¬ 
chid. For garden planting, the bulbs 
should be set out early in Fall. They may 
also be potted and handled like Hyacinths 
for indoor bloom in Winter. Mixed colors.
