These Iris are very interesting. They

den.

reasons. First, it is a rich yellow color, 
which color is entirely lacking in Siberian 
and Japanese Iris and it is especially at¬ 
tractive mixed with the Siberians. Second, 
it will grow in marsh or swampy land, 
even with 2 or 3 inches of water over it, 
and makes a pretty picture in shallow 
water or along the water’s edge. Third, 
it is excellent for naturalizing, as it will 
take care of itself in the most rugged sur¬ 
roundings.

OCHRULEUCA IRIS 
New California Type 
For Cuf Flowers 
Recently it was brought to our attention 
that this type of Iris is of great value 
for cut flower purposes. We purchased 
our plants in California where for many 
years these Iris commanded high prices 
on the cut flower markets. When our 
plants were in full flower the first part 
of June, we sent a few bunches to the 
wholesale market and they immediately 
sold at a high price. All indications are 
that they will command a good price for 
many years. They are exceptionally 
hardy and will grow in fairly heavy or 
loamy soil; moisture is beneficial. We 
are pleased to offer you the following 
range of colors at attractive prices.
