LOUISIANA IRIS 
“Are there any others with such beauty of foliage, such gypsy 
grace of curving stem and whimsically turned bud? What other 
iris tips a flower to the side and looks one full in the face?”— 
Caroline Dorman. 
This delightful group of iris lends itself exceedingly well to 
flower arrangement. Their graceful stems and clean lines give 
them a purity of form that can be used to great advantage in 
modern design. 
The colors range from purest white through pastel pinks, or- 
chids, and lavenders, to rose, coral, soft yellows, rust, and copper, 
blues of every shade, rich dark reds, and even black purples— 
many strikingly marked with signal patches in shades of yellow to 
orange. 
Best of all, these charmers are easy to grow; they need only 
good garden care. Given a rich soil with plenty of humus and lib- 
eral supplies of water prior to and during the blooming season, 
these iris will amply reward you with a profusion of exotic blooms.
