MICHIGAN GROWN IRIS 
Michigan grown Iris cannot be excelled. 
The soil and climate are ideal for all 
root growing plants. 
Some sections in the West, produces a 
large showy white rhizomes, which comes 
from irrigation; these rhizomes are soft 
and we have found that at least a years 
start is iost in planting them. 
Michigan rhizomes are not so large but 
they are solid and hard. Michigan winters 
tend, also, to produce a tough rhizome. 
Where carriage charges are not paid by 
the shipper, the extra weight amounts to 
considerable, too.

ginning about July 20th. The Siberian 
and some of the species are shipped later.
