Introducing the Finest Selection of | 
BRAND NEW BEARDED GARDEN IRIS — a 
THESE IRIS ARE FOR DELIVERY DURING JULY, AUGUST, SEPTEMBER, 1945 
THEY ARE NOT FOR IMMEDIATE DELIVERY 
It has been definitely established that there is no point in planting Iris divisions in the Spring of the year. Rarely if ever can they 
be expected to bloom, and they are easily thrown back a bit by virtue of the fact that they have been separated in the midst of their 
growing season. 
So far as ordinary varieties are concerned this is unimportant, but for this impressive list of superlative introductions we feel that 
summer and early autumn is the only time to plant them. 

Virtually all experienced gardeners concede the fact that Bearded Iris are the best all around 
permanent garden flowers from a standpoint of practicality and versatility that exist today. 
When in bloom they overshadow every other garden. flower. The colors and formation of the 
flowers are unmatchable, and after they have finished blooming the foliage lends a decorative 
tone to the garden. They are extremely tough, almost indestructible, and with a minimum of care 
are almost impervious to all but a few diseases and insects which are always easily controlled.
