IRIS 
GERMAN IRIS 
The German Iris ranks prominently among the 
more important flowers, and during their bloom¬ 
ing season hold full sway as a cut flower, as 
well as in the garden. 
Of recent years Iris hybridists have been as 
active and ambitious as those in other fields. 
Their efforts have been rewarded by the acqui¬ 
sition of varieties of taller and more vigorous 
growth, with larger flowers of more equisite 
coloring. 
The best time to plant German Iris is from 
mid July to mid September. 
The following list comprise some of the newer 
varieties of proven merit.
