Battle Creek, Mich. — IRISES—Beardless 
BEARDLESS IRISES 
Including Siberian, Acorus, Spuria and various Genera and Species. 

The beardless irises, particularly the Siberians, are well entitled to the designa- 
tion “garden butterflies.’ We have many varieties not here described, but to be 
described and offered later. 
Most beardless irises are right at home by a pool, or in a grassy meadow with 
a running brook, but they will thrive in the ordinary garden if given good care 
until established.
