LOUISIANA IRIS 
Despite the fact that these bewitching iris come from the southern United States they have proved surprisingly hardy 
throughout the country including the Northeastern states and Southern Canada. Since the discovery of great numbers of new 
plants in Louisiana the popularity of this group has gained much impetus. The amazing color range includes vivid reds and 
blues, bright yellows, coppers and pinks as well as white and richest purples. Flowers vary in size and form, some being 
flat and large like Japanese Iris. Unlike most of the bearded varieties their value does not end in the garden as the graceful 
flowers artistically placed on arching stems afford ideal material for flower arrangements. If you like to grow plants that 
will provide unusual and delightful material for indoor decoration then by all means try some of these iris. Our list is very 
limited this year but we hope to be able to offer a large selection of the finest named varieties in 1951.
