Siberian and Spuria tris—“‘happily at home in Charleston gardens. Also Japanese, which require rich soil and frequent watering.’ Mrs. W. C. Landolina, N. C.

These beardless iris are the most spectacular of all. While they do not have 
the wide range of color enjoyed by the tall bearded types, their exotic beauty, 
their tremendous size, accompanied by grace and charm of form plus com- 
manding stature, never fail to elicit exclamations of awe and delight from those 
who see them for the first time. While they are not difficult to grow, they are, 
however, more demanding than bearded iris or daylilies. They are adapted 
to most of the United States, in moist areas in the south and with some winter 
protection in the north. 
Japanese irises will not tolerate lime and their leaves will turn yellow in its 
presence. They require good soil rich in organic matter such as manure or 
leaf mold, plus plenty of water during the pre-bloom season. Their blooming 
time is most opportune, following that of the Bearded, Siberian, Spuria and 
Louisiana varieties. The six- to nine-inch flowers are of spectacular beauty 
and can stand more hot sun than any of the afore-mentioned iris. 
The plants we furnish are of typically Edenwald quality, which means equal 
to or better than any that you can obtain from any other source.

FASCINATION 
“Here’s a little note about Irises I ordered in the past. I got a letter the other day 
from my granddaughter in New York state. She said she had never seen such beautiful 
Iris—so large and such gorgeous colors. She says: “Grandma, I can’t tell you how 
much I love you for sending them to me!” This morning I got a letter from my 
daughter in Wisconsin. She says: “Mother, where did you get those gorgeous Iris? 
My neighbors just come here to look at them. They never saw such beautiful ones, 
and so large, too!” MICHIGAN 
“All my Iris from you have always been super ond have taken hold. Last year 
I had my home re-stuccoed and many of the Iris were in the way of the workers. I 
dug them up and put them in a box where they remained from about June 20, when 
they finished blooming, until Oct. 10. I put them back in the soil which now had 
sand, lime, etc., in it. Kept my fingers crossed. This spring they looked rather poor 
at first but yesterday I noticed every one is just grand and filled with flower stalks.”
