Dris Species fo 
These Iris are very interesting. They 
grow well in ordinary soil in shady lo- 
eations or in full sunshine, The tall va- 
rieties are very satisfactory for planting 
around pools and lakes while the dwarf 
varieties are ideal for shady corners in 
the rock garden.

species, 3 inches in height. Flowers rich 
amethyst-blue in May. Very good for a 
shady spot in the rock garden or fine as a

throughout August. Ideal for rock garden 
or border.

PSEUDACORUS. 36 to 48 inches. This is 
a particularly valuable species for several 
reasons. First, it is a rich yellow color, 
which color is entirely lacking in Siberian 
and Japanese Iris and it is especially at- 
tractive mixed with the Siberians. Second, 
it will grow in marsh or swampy land, 
even with 2 or 3 inches of water over it, 
and makes a pretty picture in shallow 
water or along the water’s edge. Third, 
it is excellent for naturalizing, as it will 
take care of itself in the most rugged sur- 
roundings.

CUT FLOWER IRIS 
California Type 
OCHRULEUCA 
Recently it was brought to our at- 
tention that this type of Iris is of 
great value for cut flower purposes. 
We purchased our plants in Califor- 
nia where for many years these Iris 
commanded high prices on the cut 
flower markets. When our plants 
were in full flower the first part of 
June, we sent a few bunches to the 
wholesale market and they immed- 
iately sold at a high price. All in- 
dications are that they will com- 
mand a good price for many years. 
They are exceptionally hardy and 
will grow in fairly heavy or loamy 
soil; moisture is beneficial. We are 
pleased to offer you the following 
range of colors at attractive prices.
