BEARDED IRIS 
PLEASE NOTE—Delivery of iris will be made in July. Experience has taught us that this is the best month 
to do this, although they can be moved safely any time of the year. By July the roots have attained their full 
growth and are matured, and when planted then they take hold with their new roots and by blooming time 
next spring they have made a nice clump and will give good blooms. 
Our field is usually in bloom by May 20. You are invited to visit our field and make selections at that time. 
An unusually late or early season may vary blooming date. Please order early, as quantities of many varieties 
are limited. All roots are extra strong, large plants sure to please. 
This year for the first time we are giving the originator, the year of introduction, the average height in 
inches as expressed: 42 in. E is early, M is midseason, and L is late.
