HARDY PLRLNNIALS 
IRIS (Flag) 
One of the most beautiful and finely tinted of all our garden flowers. Quite easy 
to grow, and for the most part like a moist, deep rich soil in open sunlight. They 
should be divided and replanted once in about three years, as they make such rapid 
root-growth. 
IRIS cristata (Crested Iris). A little low species, no more than 2 or 3 inches high, 
found wild in the southern states. The flowers are light blue, marked with 
white. It is quite pretty and forms nice clumps. Open border. Hardy. 10 cts. 
each, $1 per doz. 
IRIS Germanica (German Iris/. This beautiful and varied Iris will thrive in almost 
any situation, yet it delights in a moist soil. Just above the water in a lake it sets 
off other plants to advantage. Colors ranging from yellow, white, red, blue, 
purple, etc. Mixed colors ; clumps. 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz.
