Iris, Other Hardy Perennials The Linn County Nurseries 
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. 
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. 
MRS. A. W. TAIT: Longipetala superba. 35c: 3-4 ft. Long narrow petals, 
soft porcelain blue, very tall stiff sword-like foliage. 
SUNNY DAY 50c: 2 ft. An excellent yellow of the type of Mrs. A. W. 
Tait but a huskier flower. Fine for garden and a good cut flower.
