HARDY IRIS 
Hardy Iris are most effective in perennial borders and in groups, where their tall, 
orchid-like blooms illuminate the garden with rich and lovely colors. They are among 
the easiest of all perennials to grow,—a sunny, well drained location and good gar- 
den soil being the chief requirements. Never let manure come in contact with the 
rhizomes. Bone meal and good commercial fertilizers should be used on Iris. Iris 
require but little water once they are established. 
Paul J. Howard’s Hardy Iris are of outstanding beauty, selected from noted American 
and French gardens. All prices on Iris listed include postage through the fourth zone. 
Please add California sales tax to all California orders.
