Rare and Good Old Iris 
TALL BEARDED and BEARDLESS IRIS

EARLY DWARF IRIS 
The dwarf, or pumila, iris are the joy of the early garden—colorful, so sure to

the border. For best results, they should be divided every two or three years, and re¬ 
planted with a little light fertilizer. Dwarfs bloom approximately four weeks.
