“Oriental Jewels” 
Collection 
These irises are hybrids of some of the most exquisite of all 
irises. The beauty of the native oriental forms has been pre- 
served and increased vigor and hardiness has been secured 
from our more familiar bearded irises. 
They grow easily in California and in the milder climates 
in general. They are also grown successfully in many other 
parts of this country. They need good drainage, full sunshine, 
and winter protection in cold climates.
