DWARF IRIS 
The dwarf iris are the joy of the early garden—so colorful, so sure to grow, so fragrant! They flower 
nearly a month before the tall-bearded. Because most of the bloom stalks reach but 4 to 7 inches in height, 
these plants are indispensable for the rock garden, and they are equally effective for the front of the border 
or in perennial beds. 
The dwarfs hove, in miniature form, all the characteristics of the tall-bearded and are prodigious bloomers 
and rapid multipliers. Indeed, so rapidly do they increase that they soon present to the eye a solid sheet of 
colorful bloom—and after the flowering season, a dense mat of low green foliage. They lead the long iris 
parade, starting to bloom with the daffodils and continuing right into the tall bearded season. 
Because our customers have found these early blooming colorful flower gems so desirable, we have 
searched the country for the most outstanding sorts. As a result of our efforts, we now are able to offer a much 
wider selection of colors and types than are listed by other dealers.

obtain their unique coloring from the heavy veining and 
washing of olive green. Beard is white at tip, running into 
orange beneath style arms. Standards are white as are 
the style arms which display a green midrib. This large- 
flowered tall dwarf blooms early in the dwarf blooming 
period and presents a fresh, clean appearance. $5.00
