VESPER IRIS" 
6,450 blooms from 2 plants 
The beautiful filigree of graceful branches of the 
Vesper Iris is studded with from one to two hundred 
jewel-like flowers, truly a mammoth bouquet. The deli- 
cately colored blossoms, which at a little distance re- 
semble somewhat a multitude of gorgeous butterflies at 
rest, with motionless outstretched wings, vary in color, 
including such hues as cool translucent lavender, with 
markings of mahogany, copper, lemon, orange brown or 
tyrian. 
The Vesper Iris, which often grows shoul- 
der high, has a graceful ethereal beauty 
really impossible to describe. It is perfectly 
hardy and will endure both severe cold and 
intense heat with impunity. This little 
known but most desirable Iris will enhance 
the beauty of your garden with its delicate 
blossoms in the latter part of July and dur- 
ing August, sometimes continuing to flower 
even until September, filling the gap between 
the late Tall Bearded varieties and the Fall 
Bloomers, 
Well established clumps have produced 
from a few hundred to over 6,000 blooms in 
a single season. Mrs. T. W. Barnes, Okla- 
homa, reports 6,450 blooms from 2 Vesper 
Iris plants one -year after planting—60 to

DWARF IRIS" 
For House Plants 
Dwarf Iris make excellent plants for winter 
bloom. Pot them from July to September and 
leave outside until freezing weather. Store in 
cool, dry place until the middle of December. 
About 8 weeks before blooms are wanted, 
move pots to warm place, and keep in dark 
until plants are 2 to 3 inches high. See va- 
rieties and prices above.
