BEARDED IRIS 
The universally popular flower which grows every- 
where and blooms in late May and June. It repays 
good culture with more and larger flowers of better 
substance. There are so many splendid varieties that 
the garden scarcely exists which will not be made more 
beautiful by the addition of new kinds. Bearded Iris 
may be transplanted any time from early spring through 
early fall.
