During recent years I have found the hybridizing and raising | 
| of seedling Irises a very interesting pastime. Of the many thou- | 
| sands raised scarcely any two are alike. These beautiful new | 
| Irises, raised at Wyomissing, are a selection from the many thou- | 
| sands of hand hybridized seedlings. During the past season these | 
| Irises have been frequently exhibited at flower shows held by 1 
| Garden Clubs and other organizations where they invariably won | 
1 highest honors both in this country and abroad. | 
| Mr. Gilbert Errey, of Australia, writing to the Gardeners' Chronicle of London, | 
E states that having obtained the best varieties of England, Germany, France and E 
E America, he found that for “delicate beauty, combined with size and frequently E 
= fragrance, the seedlings of Farr are unsurpassed." =
