IRIS 
Almost before the dead leaves of winter are cleared away, we 
are greeted in earliest Spring by the blue and gold of the dwarf Iris; 
through May and June the Siberian and other sorts add their charm 
to the display of delicate-petalled Fleur-de-Lys, and the July sun¬ 
shine is filled with the revel of blooms of Japanese Iris, ranging in 
softly blending colors from the purest white, through delicate 
tints of lavender and blue, to deepest royal purple. In any sunny 
place at water’s edge, in shrubbery, border or garden, the Iris lends 
its charm.
