SPURIA 
IRIS 
SPURIAS 
Spurias belong to the beardless species. Their 
hard, strong, rhizomes are ideal for holding 
banks. They bloom after the tall bearded season 
has closed. Their orchid-like flowers are splen- 
did for corsages or for bouquet work and ar- 
rangements. Here is an open field for hybridizers 
who desire to work with this species. Their 
disease resistance make them the easiest iris 
to cultivate. 
(Spurias will be shipped after Sept. 1st-—-Ordez 
these on a separate sheet.)
