Marica 
GRACILIS. South American Irid com¬ 
monly called The Walking Iris. They have 
shiny, bright evergreen foliage in fans 
resembling Iris Japonica from the center 
of which rises the flower scape looking 
just like another leaf. Near the tip of this 
scape the flowers develop and bloom, after 
which young plants are produced from 
the same point. As these young plants be¬ 
come large the scape is caused to bend 
down touching the ground, when the 
plants take root and the first step is taken 
in the process of walking. In pot culture 
they may be trained to hang making cas¬ 
cades 4 to 6 feet high. In warm sections 
they may be planted in the open. They like 
light soil with leafmold. The flowers are 
extremely beautiful, fragrant, 3 inches 
across and last one day, but several flow¬ 
ers are produced on each scape. The color 
of the falls is purest waxy white. The 
standarda are reticulated deep blue and 
white and the center of the flower is 
brown. Delivery throughout the year. $1.00.
