Miniature Bearded Iris 
This group is the direct result of crossing two distinct 
Species, one of which is Pumila, a stem less Iris, found in 
Austria-Hungary, South Russia and the Caucasus; the other 
is Chamaeiris, a native of Southern France and Northern 
Italy, which produces flowers on stems 6 to 10 inches in height. 
By crossing these our modern Miniature Iris have been pro¬ 
duced, with all of the beauty of both Species, on the flowering 
stems of Chamaeiris, and with all of the ruggedness of the 
latter very rugged variety. The results of these crosses have 
been flowers that are handsome beyond description, in new 
colors and types never found in either parent. They have, in 
miniature form, all the characteristics of the Tall Bearded Iris 
and are prodigious bloomers. They begin to flower in April in 
our northern states, and continue until the middle of May. 
A few Everbloomers and Spring and Fall bloomers 
are also found in this group. They are hardy anywhere, 
and are ideal for the rock garden, or for planting in small beds, 
or along the edge of a perennial border; in fact any place 
where low growing free flowering plants are required. 
This collection contains many varieties which I am offering 
for the first time, having reserved them for propagation until 
such time as I had a sufficient stock to offer them at a low 
price. The lengthy list, and limited space, makes very brief 
descriptions necessary, but they are all real gems. They are 
hardy anywhere.
