Marica 
Walking Iris 
South American Iris. They have shiny, 
bright evergreen foliage in fans resem- 
bling Iris Japonica, from the center of 
which rises the flower scape looking just 
like another leaf. Near the tip of this 
scape the flowers develop and bloom, after 
which young plants are produced from 
the same point. As these young plants be- 
come large the scape is caused to bend 
down, touching the ground, when the 
plants take root and the first step is taken 
in the process of walking. In pot culture 
they may be trained to hang, making cas- 
cades 4 to 6 feet high. In warm sections 
they may be planted in the open. They 
like light soil with leafmould. Delivery 
throughout the year. =

ery throughout the year. 50c.
