or mosquitoes, because you can open, close or 
lock your shutters in any position from inside 
your room.

Mysterious as the opal, its structure more wonderful 
than the orchid, the beauty of the Iris is wholly 
ethereal. If you yield to its magic spell it will lead 
you across the border into a wonderland of delight. 
T HE Iris, or Rainbow flower, like the rainbow itself glisten¬ 
ing in the sun, makes you dream of faraway things, and as 
a “Messenger from the Queen of Heaven to mortals on 
earth”, carries before you a vision of hope for a new day. 
The embargoes which have been placed (owing to lack of 
transportation) upon bulbs and other foreign plants, really 
compel us to make a greater use of our own American grown 
plants.. Irises will fill the vacancy made in the spring garden 
by the absence of the imported bulbs. They may be grown 
easily by anyone and in any situation, giving their blooms 
with such abundance the first season after planting, that they 
themselves almost seem to solve the perplexing question of 
labor in the garden. 
That the gardens of America may be more cheerful, the supply of outdoor 
flowers increased, and garden tasks reduced to a minimum, I have arranged
