The hybridizers have done wonders with Iris—from the German bearded types 
to Japs. They have done so well that the big job is selecting the best from 
the thousands of new ones introduced every year. Where we have used old 
varieties we have done it purposely; they still are better than the new 
higher priced ones that are supposed to replace them. On the other hand our 
Collector Offering (the ones $2.50 and over per plant) are the introduc- 
tions that will grow old gracefully. 
Culture generally is very simple but remember that a newly planted 
root will not be sensational its first blooming season — it takes two to three 
years to establish a planting. Ulapanese Iris are sold only in the spring.) 
GERMAN BEARDED IRIS 
Only one thing to remember—they must have shallow 
planting. These are shipped only during July and August, 
the dormant period.
