DUTCH IRIS. IMPERATOR 
Dutch and Spanish Iris 
IRIS 
Japanese Iris 
The popularity of Japanese Iris is increasing 
as their many advantages about the garden 
are being realized. Not only do they make 
splendid backgrounds for lily pools, but in 
the border they form masses of gorgeous 
color and are extremely useful for cutting. 
The roots will be sent in September, which 
is the better time to plant as it allows them 
to become established before freezing 
weather sets in.

These two bulbous irises are very much alike in form 
and general habits as well as requirements. The Dutch 
are earlier and have flowers slightly larger. The Spanish 
are later and have taller and more slender stems. They 
are among the prettiest of all the Spring flowers for cut¬ 
ting and garden decoration and are orchid-like in their 
beauty of form and color. They are easily grown and 
will do well either in full sun or partial shade. If you 
have never grown bulbous iris, be sure to include some 
of these in your order.

rich dark blue. Strong grower and one of the best.

English Iris (Garden Orchids) 
These magnificent bulbous irises thrive in any good garden soil, 
but prefer a good moist loam. They are quite hardy and are being 
grown successfully in cold climates. This iris has been scarce, but 
we have developed the finest stock in the United States and are 
offering the mixed colors at attractive prices that they may be more 
generally planted. 
Flowering from the latter part of May to the middle of June, they 
are the latest of the bulbous iris to bloom. As cut flowers they take 
first place.
