IRIS FAMILY—Iridaceae 
The Iris is the type plant of this family which also includes Gladiolus, Marica, 
Tigridia and many others that are listed in our Fall Catalogs. 
Tall Bearded Iris. The old fashioned name was Iris Germanica, or simply Flags. 
We thought them lovely, but modern Iris, with their infinite colors, markings and 
blendings, are scarcely recognizable as their descendants. 
Iris may be moved at any time of year, when weather permits digging and 
replanting. The best time is soon after they are thru blooming. That is May-June in 
this climate. You may order at once and we will send them now or if you so specify 
we will send them after flowering, a better time. | 
Culture is most easy. Plant with roots spread out and rhizomes barely covered.
