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 
feom 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 
eonsiderable, too.
