“The perennial supreme.” These magnificent new forms of an old garden 
favorite begin to bloom with the early iris and cover the season into September 
or later. They are hardy, easy to grow in any good garden soil, sure to bloom, 
ALWAYS a success. Do well in either full sun or partial shade. The foliage is 
attractive throughout the season. The most weatherproof perennial. The' roots 
should be planted only slightly deeper than before.
