Beautiful Tall Bearded Iris 
Selected from the finest. With color effect 
in the garden as the criterion—rather than ex¬ 
treme size and oddity of color—-here are 
varieties that will remain because they are 
serviceable and beautiful. 
The Iris increases so rapidly that it is 
good judgment to plant only the better 
kinds. A good soil that is well drained and a 
sunny location are the requisites. Plant the 
rhizomes so that the roots are just covered 
and avoid manures or strong chemical 
fertilizers. April, August, and September 
are the best planting months.
