IRIS DIVERSITIES | 
These are species Irises, very different from the Hybrid 
Bearded (or ‘‘German’’) Irises offered in most catalogs, dif- 
ferent, too, one from another, but each one of them, for its 
own particular reasons, excellent garden material. 
IRIS ARENARIA—A pretty little Iris of the asiatic steppes, 
thriving in very well-drained soils and in hot, dry places. 
Six inches. In early spring buds of a tone between bronze 
and mahogany open to flowers of rich golden yellow, but 
petals still bronze in reverse. Each 30c; 3 for 85c. 
IRIS BREVIPES—Another low-grower, only to 7 or 8 inches, 
but a fairly late bloomer, starting almost two months after 
Arenaria, late June and first half of July. Big flat blossoms 
of intense indigo, gold-patched. Each 40c; 3 for $1.10. 
IRIS DICHOTOMA—August or Vesper Iris. It starts bloom- 
ing toward the end of July, is in full pride of flowering 
through August, but by early September it’s pretty well 
over. The perfumed flowers are carried in tall branching 
sprays. Coloring variable, usually translucent lavender with 
mahogany markings, but ranging from white to violet, with 
markings that may be buff, orange or copper. Four feet. 
Three plants for 35c (not less than 3 sold) ; 10 for $1.00. 
IRIS MONNIERI—A spectacular five-foot beauty, great long- 
stemmed flowers that are usually soft yellow, but at times 
white with yellow marking. Blooms after the German Irises, 
and makes a splendid, long-lasting cut flower. Note that 
roots of this species will not make leaf for you until next 
spring. Don’t think we have sent you dead roots if they 
make no growth this fall. That’s their nature. Each 30c; 
8 for 85c; 10 for $2.40. 
IRIS TECTORUM ALBUM—tThe rare white form of the 
delightful Roof Iris. Loose sprays of big undulate fiowers, 
all of an exquisite diaphanous whiteness save for gold on 
blade. Each 40c; 8 for $1.10. 
IRIS TRIPETALA—Called the Orchid Iris. Immense flowers 
of dark velvety violet with lavender lights. A healthy, ro- 
bust species, making wide clumps. Blooms late, after the 
Japanese Irises are done, lasting until Iris dichotoma begins. 
Each 35c; 3 for $1.00, 10 for $2.85.

each of the other five, with labels, (total of $2.10), for
