about the care and propagation of Iris, and also about 
combating some of the pests which bother us by destroy- 
ing much of what we work very hard to grow. We will

THE NEW IRIS SOUTHERN PACIFIC 
From its first appearance in our gardens, this beautiful 
iris has been a strong, and very vigorous growing plant, 
with leaves tall, smooth and strong, and with tall strong 
stems well branched. The huge blooms are well placed, 
and many reach a spread of nine inches. Both standards 
and falls are inclined to curve and have a slight ruffle 
around the edges. The standards have a strong midrib 
and stand straight and almost closed. The falls are semi- 
flaring, drooping enough at the outer edges to give the 
bloom a very artistic appearance. Texture firm. Color, a 
soft shade of rich lavender blue and has a delicate pink- 
ish glow throughout under certain lights, with a light 
area through the center, and the falls are penciled, dark- 
er through the haft. The beard is orange at the base, 
shading to lighter at the outer end. Blooms open two to 
four atatime ona stem. The plants have withstood 
freezing weather, wind and rain storms as well or better 
than other large iris under same conditions. Blooming 
period around thirty days. This is a gracious addition to 
the iris family, and gives a full measure of beauty and 
size and a soft pleasing pacific tone. 
32 inches. Late bloomer. Each $5.00

THE NEW IRIS SO BIG TEXAS

iage and strong stems and the huge blooms are well 
placed. 
The standards are almost closed and falls are semi 
flaring and slightly curyed which give the blooms an 
artistic appearance, 
Just another lovely addition to the large layender blue 
kind.

Working among your flowers at least a little each day, 
not enough to tire but just enough for good exercise and 
sunshine, is a splendid way to maintain robust health, 
and among your flowers you should have a lot of iris. 
They are easy to grow, and are one of the most satisfac- 
tory flowers.
