USES AND BLOOMING TIME: No other Iris is so INDISPENSIBLE in a garden, for these 
bloom from October to March, when there are hardly any Iris or other flowers to gladden

decoration of the mantle and dining table. Different ones excell at different times, so 
get a number of color forms.

tial shade. Will bloom off and on all winter between snowstorms. But in very cold climates 
best grown in pots, a cold frame or greenhouse for abundant flowers.

BRIDAL PINK STYLOSA 
“€  SPURIAS or BUTTERFLY IRIS “3 
USES: Superb for tall accent clumps at rear of perennial borders. They make such inspiring 
cut flowers the florists use them extensively. Why not grow your own? 
BLOOMING TIME: Early summer, after most other Iris have passed on. 
ORIGIN AND NATIVE HABITAT: Unlike most groups of Iris, the Spurias now being grown 
are partly wild species and partly hybrid varieties derived from them. Ochroleuca and 
Monnieri inhabit Asia Minor, Aurea is from Kashmir, and the dwarf Graminea is to be 
found in Central Europe. Nearly all others are hybrids. 
CULTURE AND HARDINESS (In brief): Fully hardy, easy to grow. Will bloom in sun or 
part shade, in either acid or basic soil, and will stand considerable crowding of other 
plants. Fertilize soil in advance of planting. Keep soil moist during growing season. 
SHIPPING AND PLANTING TIMES: Only in the fall, but order NOW to get your pick.
