56 PETRIE NURSERY 
IRIS 
We have grown iris in considerable quantity for over 
thirty years. In that time we have had probably more than 
1200 sorts. We endeavor at the present time to keep about 
100 varieties mostly of the newer ones. Some of them 
are so new that they are still expensive but many of them 
have been out long enough so that the price is very reas- 
onable. The flower loving public is always more than wel- 
come to see them when they are in bloom.
