Iris we have ever grown and one of the 
most beautiful as well. The lace-like blos-

Lindora is a reliable bloomer in August 
also, in addition to blooming in the spring. 
Has done so three years here. Try it for 
breeding a line of Fall Bloomers. 
Other varieties in this Catalog are sup- 
posed to bloom in the fall, but are not re- 
liable; so we make no claims about them.
