I RIS, or Fleur-de-lis, include many species, which are among our most beauti¬ 
ful hardy plants. Beginning with the dwarf Pumila varieties, which bloom in 
early May, followed by Cristata, German Iris, Siberian Iris, and finally the 
splendid Japanese, there is continuous bloom until July. German Iris, which sup¬ 
plies a large part of our garden color in June, is the best known. It has a wide 
range of colors, white, yellow, maroon, blue, lavender, pink, and purple. It grows 
easily and is very effective in mass. Hundreds of new varieties have been origin¬ 
ated, from which the following sixty-five have been selected as the best. 
Iris can be planted almost any time, even when in bloom, but the best time 
is July and August. In the descriptions “S” refers to standards, and “F M to falls. 
All varieties not priced differently are 25 cts. each, $2 for 10, $16 per 100. 
Varieties priced at 20 cts. each are $1.50 for 10; those at 30 cts. each are 
$2.50 for 10; those at 35 cts. each are $3 for 10; etc.
