Of all the types of iris we have ever 
grown, none are so rare or so beautiful as 
those found below. Natives of Palestine and 
the Asia Minor section, they have now be- 
come available for the first time since the 
war. ; 
Orchid-like, freakish colored, and very 
scarce they are easy to grow if our cultural 
directions are followed. They must be given 
the very best well drained, driest location 
and are planted very late in the fail. Hence 
our shipments are not made until November 
or December so that they will not make too 
much growth and he frozen. 
When cut in !}:"% these flowers unfold 
beautifully in water. None of these sorts are 
suitable for spring planting. Prices Postpaid 
if total iris order totals $3.00 or more. Com- 
plete cultural directions are furnished.
