HISTRIOIDES MAJOR 
SINDPERS 
RARE BULB IRIS 
The Iris listed here are uncommon in American gardens. All are strikingly beautiful and some including the Junos are 
distinctly different. The very dwarf reticulata group blooms with the earliest crocus. The junos and tuberosa bloom with the 
the dwarf bearded Irts. 
CULTURE: The Junos, Dutch and English are best planted about 
4 to 5 inches deep. The reticulata group and tuberosa about 2 to 3 
inches deep. With the exception of the English all thrive under the 
same conditions as the Regelio-cyclus group. The English enjoy 
abundant moisture until the flowering period and neutral or slightly 
acid soil. All may be lifted after blooming if desired and stored 
in a cool dry place until fall.

NOTE: Because the miniature reticulata varieties and tuberosa are 
most effective when planted in groups of at least 3 or more, all 
prices given are for no less then 3 of a kind. A single bulb of any 
of these dainty little dwarfs seems almost lost in the average garden.
