BEARDLESS IRISES 
Including Siberian, Acorns, Spuria and various Genera and Species. 
The beardless irises, particularly the Siberians, are well entitled to the designa¬ 
tion “garden butterflies.” We have, mostly in small stocks, more than a score of 
varieties not here described, but to be described and offered in later catalogues. 
Most of the beardless irises are right at home on the border of a pool, or in a 
grassy meadow with a brook running through it, though they will thrive in the ordinary 
garden if given good care until they become established.
