Snyder Bros. (Inc.), Center Point, Iowa Iris. Other Hardy Perennials 
IRIS 
For the war period we are discontinuing the German or Bearded Iris and 
listing only Siberian and Japanese varieties. They are far better landscape 
plants, having dense clumps of narrow foliage which remains bright throughout 
the season. These better kinds have large very attractive flowers and are a 
little later than the Bearded Iris. Plant them in the spring or fall but not in 
midsummer. 
SIBERIAN IRIS. Not particular as to soil and moisture and are very hardy. 
One year heavy clumps only are quoted. 
Blue Charm, 35c: Very large blue variety much superior to the old blue 
kinds. An excellent variety. 
Caesar’s Brother, 40c: 30 inches. A rich black pansy-violet, the darkest of 
the Siberian Iris, and a splendid kind. 
Emperor, 35c: 3 to 4 feet. Large, deep violet-blue, broad circular falls. One 
of the very best and tallest of the group. 
Snow Crest, 40c: Larger and taller than Snow Queen. 
Snow Queen, 35c: 30 inches. Ivory white with yellowish throat. Fine for 
cutting. 
JAPANESE IRIS. All need some protection through the winter and are best on 
rich moist humus somewhat acid soil. 
Mahogany, 35c: Six petals, dark reddish-purple. 
Uchiu, 35ec: Six petals, caerulean blue, yellow center. 
OTHER HARDY PERENNIALS AND ROCK GARDEN PLANTS 
The measure given is the average height attained, and the date, the usual 
blooming time. 
Most perennials can be moved well either fall or spring, and some of them 
through the summer. Plants one foot or under are usually suitable for some 
place in the rock garden unless too aggressive. Special cultural requirements 
are briefly noted. 
Prices, unless otherwise given: Field-grown plants 35c each, $3.00 per ten. 
ACHILLEA, Milfoil, Yarrow. Thrives in any soil in sun. 
—filipendulina, Fern-leaved, 3 to 4 feet. Broad corymbs of bright yellow, June- 
July. One of the best and hardiest garden plants. 
ASTER—Harringtons Pink, 40c: 3 to 4 feet. A clear soft pink. Much the best 
of all. Blooms before early hard freezes which often spoil later varieties. 
Received award of Merit from Massachusetts Horticultural Society. Strong 
field grown plants of the original variety which was first cataloged and dis- 
tributed by us. Many inferior seedlings of it are now on the market. 
BAPTISIA australis, False Indigo, 2 to 3 feet. Dark blue, pea-shaped flowers 
in 6 inch spikes, May-June. Dry soil in full sun. 
DICENTRA spectabilis, Bleedingheart. The old-fashioned Bleedingheart, 60c: 
114-2 feet. Long racemes of graceful heart-shaped, rose-crimson flowers. 
April-June. It likes humus but will grow almost anywhere, even in shade. 
Still one of the best old perennials.
