THE WORLD'S FINEST SIBERIAN IRIS 
Russia and Central Europe are the home of Iris "Siberica" while "Orientalis" comes from Manchuria and Japan. 
These two species have been crossed and the qualities and characteristics of both parents have been blended to¬ 
gether and intermingled to produce a race that is now commonly called "Siberian Iris." 
These dainty flowers are not so large as the Tall Bearded or the Japanese Iris, but they are borne in the 
greatest profusion. They are hardy anywhere, of the easiest culture, and are the most accommodating of all Iris, 
as they will flower profusely in full sun or semi-shade, in a damp or dry spot, their preference being for a moist 
spot. A single plant when established will form a clump that will produce 50 or more flower stalks. The flowers 
grow on thin, hollow stems, and have ornamental, grass-like foliage. In addition to being unusually ornamental for 
the home garden, they are especially fine for landscape work or for bordering a brook or pond, where they should 
be planted just above the water line. 
They will take care of themselves anywhere. As cut flowers, and for artistic arrangements they are exquisite. 
Devote a spot in your garden to the lovely Siberian Iris. They will fill it with beauty.

of my general catalogue. 
For a continuation of the Iris flowering season nothing is more important than these marvelous and little known 
Beardless Iris Species and Hybrids, for they fill in the gap in the flowering season between the Tali Bearded Iris and 
the Japanese iris, flowering throughout the month of June in our Northern gardens (a month earlier in the South) 
and continuing to bloom until the Japanese Iris are in full flower. This group consists of attractive European, Asi¬ 
atic and American Species; and many beautiful hybrids created by crossing these various types. 
The flowers are ideal for cutting as they lend themselves naturally to the most artistic 
arrangements. They are not only different in form from all other Iris, but each variety also 
has an individual distinction of form and color all its own. 
They are fine for any part of the garden, but especially useful for the semi-shady nook 
where other Iris would not do so well. There is a congenial spot in every garden where these 
beauties will make themselves at home. They are hardy anywhere, and once planted they may 
be left to themselves for years. There is nothing that surpasses them for naturalizing in bold 
masses. Here are just a few of the most attractive of these Beardless Species and Hybrids: 
CACIQUE—42 in. This is one of fhe finest of all Beardless Hybrids, being a large, free flowering rich violet 
color. 35c. 
FULVA—24 in. A color not approached in any other Iris, coppery red. See color illustration in centre of cal¬ 
endar on address side. 25c. 
GIGANTICOERULEA—The finest of the newly discovered Louisiana Species. A huge violet blue flower that will 
grow 5 feet high in a favorable location. See color illustration at left. $1.00. 
KAEMPFERI—42 in. The native wild type from Japan, the origin of our modern Japanese Iris. The strain I am 
offering is a most attractive deep red-purple, flowering profusely over a long period, with flowers that are dou¬ 
ble the size of the ordinary wild Kaempferi, and almost twice as tall. This is one of the most attractive Iris I 
have for mass effect. 35c. 
LORD WOLSELEY—46 in. Th is is one of the largest and finest of the "Spurias" and not only 
makes a fine garden display, but is also marvelous as a cut flower. 25c. 
MRS. A. W. TA1T—A fine porcelain-blue Spuria with flowers much like the Dutch or Spanish 
Iris. 35c. 
PSEUDACORUS—An English Species. Deep yellow. Excellent for growing in a pool, but 
equally at home anywhere in the garden. See color illustration on first page, under "Water 
Iris". 20c.
