Iris has been developed at our nurseries, and con- 
tains all the choicest varieties which can possibly

Iris. They should be planted: as soon after the 
beginning of September as possible for best re- 
sults. They prefer the more moist and heavier 
soils, and should have good drainage. The blooms

unsurpassed. We are offering them in a fine mix- 
ture of colors. $2.75 per doz.; 25 for $5.25.
