Hardy California J MAeds 
Stately and imposing, the Irises are well deserving of great popularity. They are easy to 
grow and adaptable to various locations, have a long blooming season and are excellent for 
cutting purposes. 
There are hundreds of varieties, and of course, too many to list, so at blooming time we go 
into the test garden and select 20 of the very best in the full color range. 
Tf you planted these 20 Irises in your garden, you would have the cream of the 1944 crop. 
Here they are.
