WAUTESBORO, VIRGINIA 
COLORFUL IRIS 
The bright and varied colors of the Iris 
have led to the name ‘‘Rainbow Flower.” No 
hardy flower is better adapted to general 
planting than the Iris. Its beauty, its wide 
range of colors, its hardiness and ease of 
growth have made it one of the most generally 
planted flowers. Iris is usually planted in 
masses, five or six of a kind grouped with 
other varieties. In this manner the finest 
of flowering effects are achieved. Plant Iris 
in front of shrubbery or in the flower garden. 
Line the walls with rows of fris. Plant it 
around pools, along streams, among rocks. 
Its spikes of leaves are decorative the whole 
season. Iris is not particular as to soil, but 
grows almost anywhere there is sunlight and 
moisture. The easy culture of Iris makes it 
one of the best flowers for the home. 
Iris may be divided into many classes, the 
most important of which is the Bearded or 
German, which we offer in approximately 
forty carefully selected varieties. Other im- 
portant classes are the Dwarf, Japanese, 
Louisiana, Siberian, and Spanish, which we 
also offer.

DWARF IRIS 
The Dwarf Iris are a joy of the early garden, 
flowering nearly a month before the tall, 
bearded varieties. Because most of the bloom 
stalks reach but 4 to 7 in. in height, these 
plants are indispensable for rock gardens. 
They are equally as effective for the front of 
the border or in perennial beds.

Cristata. A tiny sky-blue. 
May Night. Dark purplish blue. 
Prairie Gem. Buttercup yellow. 
The Bride. White. Free flowering.

merits become better known. Their blooming 
season 1s several weeks later than the tall, 
bearded varieties, extending the Iris season. 
Flowers are large, are borne on tall stalks and 
make excellent cut flowers. There are now 
hundreds of named varieties, from which we 
have made a selection of the most popular, as 
follows: 
Azure. Tall, large, light blue. Double. 
Gold Bound. Double white with cream glow. 
Kuro-Kumo. Double purple. 
Mahogany. Purplish mahogany-red. 
Norma. Pink.

near pools. Perfectly hardy. Purple.

SPANISH IRIS 
Although the flowers are not large, their 
shape and delicate coloring rival the Orchid. 
For garden planting, the bulbs should be set 
out early in the Fall. 
LILIES 
The Lily is one of our oldest cultivated 
flowers and continues to be one of the most 
loved and extensively planted. No garden is 
complete without Lilies. For cut flowers or 
potted plants they are most valuable. Fol- 
lowing we attempt to list the most practical 
garden varieties, including the Amaryllis 
Halli, “‘The Magic Lily’ which is entirely 
hardy and most satisfactory. 
Amaryllis Halli. Produces in early Spring 
attrative green foliage which grows until 
early July, when it ripens and disappears. 
About a month later, as if by magic, the 
flower stalks spring from the ground to a 
height of 2 to 3 ft., developing an umbel of 
large, lily-shaped flowers, often as many as 
12 in number, of a delicate lilac-pink shade. 
Perfectly hardy, easily grown. If inter- 
ested in something unusual, as well as beau- 
tiful, we commend to you this Lily.

throughout the Summer and Fall after Tulips
