Ochroleuca Iris 
No flower lover should be without this fine Iris. We high¬ 
ly recommend it. 
Plants look like strong growing German Iris but flow¬ 
ers are very similar to the fine Dutch Bulb Iris. This is 
the finest of all the Irises for early Summer cut flowers, 
blooming on Long Island from June 12th on. The flowers 
last a long time with several blossoms coming out in 
succession. Very attractive in the garden, and fine for 
bouquets for use in the home. 
Plants grow from rhizomes out of doors and become 
more prolific from year to year without transplanting. 
We believe this Iris to be perfectly hardy anywhere in the 
United States. Grows as tall and fine as Gladiolus. 
August and September are the best months for planting. 
At the very low price we are offering this item, no less 
than twenty-five rhizomes will be sold. 
Colors sold only in proportion as follows: 
15 White, 10 Yellow 
Total of 25 rhizomes for $3.00—(Postpaid). 
For lots of 100 or more, price is $8.00 per hundred, 
f. o. b., Berlin, Maryland. Express charges to be paid by 
customer when plants are delivered. 
DIRECTIONS FOR PLANTING OCHROLEUCA IRIS 
Plant in well prepared soil as any garden or bulb 
crop. Plant each crown about two inches deep, as Iris do 
like deep planting. Water or irrigate within a few days 
after planting if no rain comes, or better yet, as soon as 
you finish planting. Pack soil firmly as in planting any 
other bulb or root. Space twelve to sixteen inches apart in 
rows, and the rows three to four feet apart, to fit your 
space. For the first winter before thawing frosts, cover 
with some coarse litter so frost will not raise them out of 
the ground. 
The rhizomes are now dormant and will make new 
roots as soon as planted and watered. Good care and at¬ 
tention will repay you for your efforts. 
If not planted immediately, keep moist, but not wet, 
with a peat or shavings packing.
