Scleriau Tres 
Every garden should include a planting of Siberian iris. Blooming at about the 
same time as the tall bearded varieties, they are so very different that the contrast is 
most intriguing. They are beardless and have a much different petal formation. 
Easy to grow and prodigious of bloom, an established clump often produces fifty or 
more tall, wiry flower stalks rising out of the mass of narrow-leaved artistic foliage. 
The flowers have a cool, crisp appearance and keep well when cut. 
The newer varieties are taller and finer, the colors cleaner and brighter, and the 
flowers are larger and of better form than the old, outmoded varieties. ‘The range of 
colors is limited to various shades of blue and purple, white, and bluish red. 
They should be planted in early fall in ordinary garden soil which should not be 
allowed to dry out until plant is established. They may be grown in full sunlight 
or in partial shade. Better avoid lime and bonemeal because. they prefer a slightly 
acid environment. 
ee The Siberian iris plants we send you are not just single fans but rather, small 
clumps which have more strength and vigor to insure successful transplanting and 
earlier increase in your garden.
