Snyder Bros. (Inc.), Center Point, Iowa Iris, Other Hardy Perennials 

IRIS 
We list only Siberian and Japanese varieties. They are far better 
landscape plants, having dense clumps of narrow foliage which remains 
bright throughout the season. These better kinds have large very at- 
tractive flowers and are a little later than the Bearded Iris. Plant 
them in the spring or fall but not in mid-summer like the Bearded Iris. 
SIBERIAN IRIS. Not particular as to soil and moisture and are very 
hardy. One year 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: 3-4 feet. Large, deep violet-blue, broad circular 
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. Very large flat 
flowers in late June or July. 
Mahogany, 40c: Six petals, dark reddish-purple. 
UCHIU, 40c: Six petals, caerulean blue, yellow center.
