Liberty Iris, Fleur de Lis 

Liberty Irises, perfectly hardy and easy to grow, furnish a 
wealth of rainbow colors in May. 
One who has never grown Irises would scarcely realize 
that such sturdy, easily grown plants would produce such 
fragile blooms with a wealth of rainbow colors found in no 
other flower. Their beauty of form and texture has given 
them the name, “orchid of the garden. Mass them at the 
borders of the lawn or among shrubbery. Plant them along 
walks and drives, and in the herbaceous border. Naturalize 
them in wild and uncultivated places. The modern varieties 
are vast improvements on the old flags of our grandmother's 
day. No wonder they have increased so greatly in popularity! 
Irises are easily grown in any well drained soil of average 
fertility, and increase in loveliness each spring. They suc- 
ceed with shade part of the day, but are best in full sun. 
Prepare the soil well. Compost or leaf mold may be added 
if needed, but no manure. Plant 15 to 18 in. apart, the rhi- 
zome or fleshy part of the root horizontal and barely covered. 
Divide and replant as they become too thick. The inches or 
feet in the description is the height of the flower stem. The 
standards are the upright or standing petals, the falls the 
lower or drooping petals. 
Prices: Except where otherwise noted. 20c each; 3 of a 
kind for 55c, 6 or more of a kind at 2.00 per doz. 
If wanted by parcel post, add 2c each, not less than 10c 
per package, for Missouri and adjoining states.
