IRIS 
These are easily grown from seed, the 
growing of which is very interesting and 
entertaining, especially those gardeners 
who have the experimental urge. The most 
important point in Iris is that cold instead 
of warmth is required in their germination; 
sow seeds outdoors in late fall so they

the seeds germinate they may be trans-

of Dahlias, Gladiolus and many other such 
flowers, from seeds, there is plenty of! in-

of new types, colors and combinatitons. 
Common name for the annual form of 
Delphinium, They are amongst the very 
best cut flower annuals and the greatly 
improved strains we are offering, it is 
hard to conceive a more effective cut

for best results should be sown in the fall.
