Poor Mant Onchida: 
NEW IMPROVED DUTCH IRIS 
The brilliancy and purity of color 
of these orchid-like flowers is un- 
surpassed. As cut flowers they re- 
main in good condition for a re- 
markable length of time, and in the 
garden have a blooming range of 
about six weeks. Although they are 
very hardy, a mulch will be benefi- 
cial in extreme climates. Plant 5 
inches deep.
