German Iris 
Probably the Japanese Iris rank first In beauty, but they 
cannot approach In popularity the German Iris. A great 
number or new varieties have been Introduced In the last 
decade and many of them are Tar superior to the older 
sorts In beauty and size of flowers. Some of these recent 
introductions, however, are extremely delicate and re¬ 
fuse to bloom except when conditions are “Just so.” These 
have been earefully eliminated rrom our list. The German 
Irises in our collection may be raised with success by any¬ 
one. Give them a good sunny situation and plant the 
tubers so that they are only abcut half buried. In the 
descriptions which follow, the upright petals are referred 
to as “Standards,” while those which droop are known 
as “Falls.” Per 12 100

Siberian Iris 
Narrow, grassy foliage and tall, ilat stems make the Irises of 
this class the most delicate and ornamental of the whole family. 
They are especially desirable for borders, or Tor marking lines, 
etc., their slender graceful foliage and delicately poised blossoms 
holding a distinctive beauty that is peculiar to them. They are 
very persistent and will thrive even in blue-grass sod. Coming 
into bloom Just at the close of the bearded Iris season, they flower 
quite freely and are extensively used for naturalizing and water¬ 
side plantings.
