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.

floriferous. 8” 50c 
Blue Flash (Marx 1948) Light wedgewood blue, very dainty. 5”. 60c 
Blue Mascot (Marx 1947) Very clear medium blue self, almost chicory blue, with semi- 
flaring falls; 5%: 60c 
Snow Cap Snow-white with a greenish flush. White beard. 10”. 40c 
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 as 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. 
Tycoon (Cleveland 1938) 34”. The largest Siberian iris. The flowers have broad 
petals and a lovely violet blue color with satiny finish. $2.00:
