Iris—The Rainbow Flower 
O RCHIDS OF THE GARDEN ’ is a name often given to the hardy Iris. Every¬ 
one succeeds with Iris for it will thrive and bloom abundantly in most any 
soil. There are few garden flowers that are as gay and colorful. 
PLANTING DIRECTIONS—Plant the roots just below the surface in an open, 
sunny spot. Protect with a light covering of hay or straw in late fall. 
In the description the "S" refers to the "standards" (upright petals) and "F" to 
the "falls" (lower petals). The varieties are grouped according to color effect. 
Prices are for strong, sturdy root divisions. A 10% discount is allowed from the "each" price 
when 5 or more of a variety are ordered. (Please add 3c per root for shipment by Parcel Post.)
