EARTHLY RAINBOWS 
Lays of ancient minstrels ' 
Tales in olden rhyme, 
Raise the royal Fleur-de-lis— 
This is Iris time. 
Kaleidoscopic ‘colors 
Pass in gay review, 
Emerald swords uplifted 
To the morning dew. 
Gorgeous lords and ladies 
In their gay brocade, 
Dancing down the garden path 
Rainbows on parade 
The king a yellow doublet wears 
His chestnut hose so bright! 
A purple gown bedecksg his queen 
With ruff of snowy white. 
Her ladies dressed in pastel hues 
Like butterflies, not flowers— 
The Lord’s adorned in sable cloaks 
To keep away the showers. 



















They’re clad in satin, velvet, plush, 
Some powdered thick with gold, 
Their ruffles sheer are edged with lace 
And striped and buttonholed. 
Each blossom is a gem of art; 
Rose, salmon, violet blue— 
No other flower of any kind 
Can boast more varied hue. 
The orange, primrose, yellow— 
Hold all of Springtime’s light, 
They stand there opal, white, and red; 
Brown, purple, copper, zold— 
A hoard no miser ever keeps, 
No treasure he could hold. 
This goddess of the rainbow 
Can open wide the door 
And show to you a masterpiece, 
The best of nature’s store.

“The Iris arrived to-day and am I ever 
delighted. Was all ready for them. Thanks 
for the extra ones.”

“I ordered the 50 Iris roots last fall and 
was well pleased with them, most every 
one bloomed,” 
Mrs. J. A. TT 
Brookline, Missouri 

‘,The last order has just recently arrived. 
Some were more the equivalent of ‘2” 
roots than just one and should do well 
here.”’ 
Mrs. E. W. B. 
“I received that Argentea Iris you sent as 
Windsor, Va.
