Japanese Iris 
JAPANESE IRISES will thrive in any part of the United 
States: they are hardy and much more beautiful than the Ger- 
manica group. If you have never grown them, you have missed a 
lot. They are fine for cut flowers. Y"ou can plant them in the 
early spring or in the fall with equal success. 
FOR F.YLL DELIY^ERY. We ship Japanese Iris during Sep¬ 
tember only.
