Iris Cristata (See page 41) 
IRIS SPURIA 
(Finest Iris for cut flowers.) These are so different from all other 
Beardless Species and Hybrids as to deserve a separate sub-division. The 
flowers are quite unlike all other Irises, and are very artistic, making 
exquisite cut flowers for which purpose they are used extensively by 
florists. They are hardy anywhere. While not indispensable to their 
success, they prefer a moist spot and make a most imposing effect in 
the garden.

center of each fall. It will grow 3 feet tall, forms a good clump of nice
