DWARF BEARDED IRIS 
These cheerful little flowers are greatly appreciated, especially because of their 
early blooming habit. They are among the first of our hardy perennials to brighten 
the garden, usually blooming with the dwarf early tulips. Very attractive color 
combinations can be made with a planting of dwarf iris and early tulips.

SIBERIAN IRIS 
Every garden should have a few clumps of Siberian Iris. They produce dense 
clumps of grass-like foliage and very artistic butterfly-like flowers on slender, 
graceful stems. The Siberians are particularly charming intermingled sparingly in 
the border garden with other perennials, particularly such items a; salmon pink 
oriental poppies, early yellow daylilies, campanulas, etc. The Siberians add an air 
of grace and charm to the planting that can be duplicated with no other flower. 
They are also excellent cut-flowers and splendid for corsages. 
Mountain Lake (Gersdorf 1938) A delightful clear medium blue self with semi-erect 
standards and flaring falls which are slightly ruffled at the edge. The center of

that is most effective in the garden. $2.50
