Other American Beardless Species 
H ARDY anywhere. All of these "Beardless Species," as well as the Louisiana Species, Asiatic Species, Spurias 
and also the Beardless Hybrids, flower between the time the Tall Bearded Iris finish flowering and the 
Japanese Iris begin to bloom. They thus fill in a gap when we would otherwise be without Iris, but fortu¬ 
nately we have about 150 Species and Hybrids that fill in this intervening period. 
These Beardless Species are of course the hardiest of all Irises and are suitable for almost any location, but 
excepting where otherwise noted, they prefer a somewhat moist location and acid soil. The application of peat 
and well rotted stable manure is best for them. Plant¬ 
ing and Cultural directions accompany all shipments.
