GIANT BEARDED IRIS 
Tall bearded Ins will give excellent results 
in any fertile soil with reasonable drainage 
and exposure to sunlight. Whether the soil is 
neutral, slightly acid or calcareous makes little 
or no difference. Plants should be set out so 
that the rootstock (rhizome) is barely under- 
ground. If soil is dry when planting is done a 
thorough soaking is beneficial but after the 
plants become established they require very 
little moisture after blooming. When the 
plants become too crowded or decrease in their 
flowering, division is likely necessary. Bearded 
iris will grow but not bloom properly in a 
shaded location.

WE OFFER YOU THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE IRIS COLLECTION IN THE WORLD 25 
EMBERGLOW 
EMBERGLOW 
Each 5.00 
Far too many nondescript blends of little if any merit 
have been introduced in recent years. Emberglow attracts 
not only for its symphony of warm rich colors but also 
for its rare luminous quality or inner glow that lights up 
the entire flower. Unlike most blends this radiant iris 
will be one of the brightest spots in your garden. Flowers 
are of large size and produced in great abundance on 31% 
foot stems. Midseason to late. Again we delayed intro- 
duction until we could offer this fine blend for a price 
most iris lovers could afford. 
SOIREE Each 7.50 
Selected for its distinctive color pattern, pleasing form 
and excellent growing habits out of many seedlings from 
Amigo x Lucky Star. A near amoena of light mauve 
standards and deep amaranth purple falls. As the picture 
portrays the falls are bordered light mauve giving us a 
most desirable contrast of colors. Actually the falls are 
of much richer hue and the entire flower is much brighter 
than indicated in the illustration. Blooms profusely on 
3 foot stems. Rather late.
