SIBERIAN IRIS 
Ever arden should include a planting of Siberian 
iris. Bigoming at about the same time as the tall-bearded 
varieties, they are so very different that the contrast is 
most intriguing. They are beardless and have a much 
different petal formation. 
Easy to grow and prodigious of bloom, an established 
clump often produces fifty or more tall, wirey flower 
stalks rising out of the mass of narrow-leaved artistic 
foliage. The flowers have a cool, crisp appearance and 
keep well when cut. 
The newer varieties are taller and finer, the colors 
cleaner and brighter, and the flowers are larger and of 
better form than the old, outmoded, varieties. The range 
of colors is limited to various shades of blue and purple; 
white; and bluish red. 
They should be planted in Fall or very early Spring in 
ordinary garden soil which should not be allowed to dry 
out until plant is established. They may be grown in full 
sunlight or in partial shade. Better avoid lime and bone- 
meal because they prefer a slightly acid environment. 
PLEASE NOTE: We will not ship until after September 
first and the minimum acceptance arder is $2.60. No 
Spring shipments.
