Iris Pumila (Hybrids.) 
This is a new race of charming Iris, intermediate between the early Pumila and Germanica. 
in time of blooming and size of flower. The range of color is marvelous. By planting these 
new hybrids freely the Iris blooming season can be extended several weeks, as they begin bloom¬ 
ing as early as May 1st, continuing up to the time the German Iris begin. They are perfectly 
hardy and will endure cheerfully no end of hardships. The following varieties are all verv 
beautiful.
