THE WORLD’S FINEST SIBERIAN IRIS 
Russia and Central Europe are the home of Iris “Siberica,” while “Orientais” comes from 
Manchuria and Japan. These two species have been crossed and the qualities and char¬ 
acteristics of both parents have been blended together and intermingled to produce a 
race that it now commonly called “Siberian Irises.” 
Ihese dainty flowers are not so large as the Tall Bearded or the Japanese Iris, but they 
are borne in the greatest profusion. They are hardy anywhere, of the easiest culture, and 
are most accommodating of all Irises, as they will flower profusely in full sun or semi¬ 
shade, in a damp or a dry spot, their preference being for a moist spot. A single plant 
when established will form a clump that will produce 50 or more flower stalks. The 
flowers grow on thin, hollow stems, and have ornamental, grass-like foliage. In addition 
to being unusually ornamental for the home garden, they are especially fine for landscape 
work or for bordering a brook or pond, where they should be just above the water line. 
They will take care of themselves anywhere. As cut flowers, and for artistic arrangements 
they are exquisite. 
Devote a spot in your garden to the lovely Siberian Iris. They will fill it with beauty.

BEARDLESS IRIS SPECIES and HYBRIDS 
Siberian Iris 
For continuation of the Iris flowering season nothing is more important than these marvelous 
and little known Beardless Iris Species and Hybrids, for they fill in the gap in the flowering 
season between the fall Bearded Iris and the Japanese Iris, flowering throughout the month of 
June in our Northern gardens (a month earlier in the South) and continuing in bloom until the 
Japanese Iris are in full flower. This group consists of attractive European, Asiatic and 
American Species; and many beautiful hybrids created by crossing these various types. 
The flowers are ideal for cutting as they lend themselves naturally to the most artistic arrange¬ 
ments. 1 hey are not only different in form from all other Iris, but each variety also has an 
individual distinction of form and color all its own. 
I hey are fine for any part of the garden, but especially useful for the semi-shady nook where 
other Iris would not do so well. There is a congenial spot in every garden where these beauties 
will make themselves at home. They are hardy anywhere, and once planted they may be left to 
themselves for years. There is nothing that surpasses them for naturalizing in bold masses. 
Here are just a few of the most attractive of these Beardless Species and Hybrids:
