IRIS SIBER1CA 
Siberian Iris 
The ordinary Iris Siberica is too well known for detailed description. We 
cannot help, however, bringing to your attention the fine assortment of varieties 
that we are listing below. We do not know of anything that is more striking than 
a nice planting of Siberian Iris in early spring. They grow to a height of 3 to 4 
feet. Good established clumps will produce from 15 to 30 long flower spikes. 
Vases displayed in a living room create a wonderful atmosphere. In addition to 
landscape plantings they are ideal for bordering brooks or ponds.

| Growing conditions over the 
I country are very favorable this I 
j year and the ground is in ex- | 
( cellent condition. If plantings j 
| of various Iris or other hardy j 
i plants are made early this fall, 1 
they will produce advanced 
growth yet this year which will 
I be very much in their favor for f 
i an early start next spring. j

which color is entirely lacking in Siberian 
Iris and it is especially attractive mixed 
with the Siberians. Second, it will grow 
in marsh or swampy land, even with 2 or 
3 inches of water over it, and makes a 
pretty picture in shallow water or along 
the water’s edge. Third, it is excellent 
for naturalizing, as it will take care of 
itself in the most rugged surroundings, 
self-sowing and perpetuating itself. It is 
an English species. It will also grow in 
dry soil.

IRIS SPECIES 
These little Irises are very interesting. Most of them are low growing types 
hardly over 6 inches in height flowering very early in the spring. They do well 
in dry soil. In recent years many of them are being used in prominent locations 
in the rock garden, in semi-shady nooks or in border plantings.
