O RCHIDS OF THE GARDEN" is a descriptive name often given to the hardy 
Iris. Everyone can succeed with them for they will thrive and blossom 
abundantly in most any soil. There are few garden flowers that are as gay and 
colorful and certainly none that are so simple of culture. 
Planting Directions. Select an open sunny spot. Plant the roots just barely 
beneath the ground surface. Use bone-meal, rather than manure for a fertilizer. 
From the many choice Iris varieties now available, we recommend those listed 
as very hardy and dependable in blooming. For ease in selecting they are 
grouped according to color effect. 
In the description the "S" refers to the "Standards" (upright petals), and "F" 
to the "Falls" (lower petals). 
"The Orchid of the Garden" Prices are for strong, sturdy root divisions. AI0% discount is allowed from the "each" price when 
5 or more of a variety are ordered. (Please add 3 c per root for shipment by Parcel Post.)
