BEARDED IRIS 
Definition, Plicatas have a ground color 
of white or light tint with deeper colors flush- 
ing, bordering or drawn on in dots or lines. 
Blends have several colors delicately blended. 
Bicolors have standards, (S), or upright petals 
in a lighter tone than that of the falls, (F.) or 
drooping petals. In the Variegates, the S. are 
yellow toned and the F. in a great variety of 
reas ana mayroons. 
Culture. Plant rhizomes only one inch deep. 
keep moist but do ngt water heavily until they 
begin to grow. Induce vigorous growth espec- 
ially the first season by clean culture and 
abundance of water. Most Iris prefer full sun. 
They succeed in any good soil‘unless too acid. 
Heavier soils are better than very sandy. Use 
no fertilizers and manure is often fatal. Light, 
applications of wood ashes or lime are good 
and are necessary in soils on the acid side, 
Plant any time of year, but the best time is 
soon after flowering. Iris planted early will 
bloom the following spring. 
When your Iris do not bloom feel blame 
your culture. Frequent causes are: When too 
thick or crowded only the outside of a clump 
can bloom. Divide, them. lk may be you force 
growth too late in the fall. In late fall let 
them dry off and bake until foliage withers. 
They cannot be too hot or" too dry at that time 
but to do that they should have made a pre- 
vious abundant growth sufficient to have ma- 
tured the blossom end of the rhizomes. 
Time of delivery. Bearded Iris are sent 
any time of the year. Beardiess Iris, (Louisia- 
na, Spurias etc.) are delivered in late fall when 
dormant. Order now (and remit price) or well 
in advance that we may know how many to dig. 
We cannot accept orders to “let me know when 
ready and I will remit.”

a fine Iris garden representative of modern 
Tris at an average cost under 12c each. Some

Dwarf Iris. We have a fine lot of seedling 
iris bred for rare pastel colors.’ Many are 
pink or red toned, many plicatas. Sizes are 
dwarf to intermediate and most useful in rock 
gardens or borders. Their exquisite tones will 
delight you. These plants are assorted and 
unnamed, you can give them a name. No com- 
mon ones. Price, 25 for $1.00. 100 for $3.00. 
Assorted Iris. We have a lot of Iris without 
labels and certain surplus. These are cheaper 
and commoner sorts and there may be only a 
¢ew sorts in each lot. Recommended only for 
mass planting, where quantity rather than 
quality is desired. Price 75 for $1.00. Ship- 
ped only by express at your expense, We can- 
not undertake to let you know the costs of 
P.P. or Express but will ship C.O.D. for pos- 
tage, if you remit the $1.00. 
In the following list ‘we have included 
some of the best of moderately priced Iris. We 
do not claim these are the best. But many of 
those very recently introduced and now selling 
for $5 to $50 per root are little if any better 
than those a little older that can be purchased 
for 50c to $1.00. 
Nor do we claim that you can plant the 5c 
varieties and obtain a collection representative 
of modern Iris. We recommend them as good 
Iris that are useful in a large planting where 
one must limit the expense. For greatest sat- 
isfaction plant a few at least of the higher 
priced Iris.
