Louisiana Beardless Species 
H ARDY anywhere. These magnificent "Beardless Species," recently discovered in the swamps, bayous and 
marshes of Louisiana, are among the finest of all Beardless Species. They are perfectly hardy in the north 
and while they prefer considerable moisture, they do well in any average garden soil, in full sun or semi¬ 
shade. Plenty of peat and well rotted stable manure will suit them best. They should also prove especially suit¬ 
able for the Water Garden, provided the water does not freeze around them during the winter. Planting and 
cultural directions accompany all shipments.
