Snyder Bros. (Inc.), Center Point, Iowa Iris, Other Hardy Perennials 
IRIS 
We list only Siberian and Japanese varieties. They are far bet- 
ter landscape plants, having dense clumps of narrow foliage which re- 
mains 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 mid-summer. 
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 cir- 
cular 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. These need some protection through the winter and 
are best on rich moist humus, somewhat acid soil. 
Mahogany, 40c: Six petals, dark reddish-purple. 
Uchiu, 40c: Six petals, caerulean blue, yellow center.

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 
suitahle 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 
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 Horti- 
cultural Society. Strong field grown plants of the original variety 
which was first cataloged and distributed 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. 
DICTAMNUS ruber, Gas Plant, 40c: 2% feet. Rosy purple, veined 
darker. Strongly aromatic. Likes well-drained soil and needs little 
care. Plant in a permanent place and leave it alone. Each year it 
will be better. Very drought resisting.
