TALL BEARDED IRIS

Those who are familiar only with the old-fash¬
ioned “flags” sometimes called Bearded Iris or
Iris Germanica, have a real treat in store for them
in the newer hybrids and improved forms. Many
of these are enormous, with flowers eight or ten
inches across, rivaling the finest orchids in beauty
of tints, which range through blue, purple, lav¬
ender, pink, maroon, yellow, buff, white, and
every conceivable combination of these colors.
Most of them are very fragrant, and all are fine
as cut flowers. Do well in any soil, with full sun.
Need no summer watering, prefering a season of
drought between blooming periods. When bloom¬
ing, and while leaf growth is in progress, water
is needed.

Shipping season for the Tall Bearded Iris, In¬
termediate Hybrids, and Dwarf Bearded Type is
from June to October. August 1 to October 1
for the Bulbous Types and September 1 to No¬
vember 1 for the beardless species.

INTERMEDIATE HYBRID IRIS

These hybrids are a cross between the tall
bearded Iris(Germanica)and the dwarf Iris Pumila.
As a result they are of medium height (12 to 24
inches) and flower after the early dwarfs and
before the tall bearded, thus filling the gap be¬
tween these two types. They are free flowering,
vigorous growers and very hardy.

THREE RHIZOMES OF ANY IRIS LISTED ON THIS PAGE AT TWICE THE SINGLE PRICE

Iris Stolonifera Iris Susiana — In Field Iris Fulva Iris Hoogiana

PALESTINE HYBRID IRIS

This group contains the most curious, yet beau¬
tiful of all Iris. Their flowers are strikingly
veined on white, soft violet-purple or brawn
ground. To grow this type of Iris successfully
where winters are severe or summers subjected
to occasional rains, it is necessary to dig the
roots each season after the leaves have died down
(about the end of June) wash, and dry off for
a day or two and then store in a box of very
dry sand until time to replant. Tobacco dust
added to the sand is used as a protection against
aphis. The planting should be done a few weeks
before the ground freezes, three or four inches
deep and then covered with a mulch of straw or
dried leaves to prevent heaving. A light frost
will not injure the roots, but will kill the new
growth. Therefore, the roots should be kept bone
dry after planting, inasmuch as growth starts
very readily upon the addition of moisture, if
the temperature is mild.

BEARDLESS IRIS

LOUISIANA SPECIES

This group of Iris was recently discovered by
Dr. Small and Mr. E. J. Alexander. Most of these
species grow in swamps and require the same
culture as Japanese Iris ; a great deal of water
at blooming time. Any good garden soil, with peat
moss or leaf mold worked in, will suit them. Un¬
like the bearded Iris, they stand a much heavier
fertilization, giving in return a wealth of
flowers.

en signal patch. Large. Each, 1.50.

These native Iris are all beautiful and can be
used artistically either in rock .gardens or as
marginal plants along the edges of pools and
streams. These species are not as tall as the
Louisiana species, but are daintier and will stand
a lower temperature. All these bloom after the
Bearded Iris, except Missouriensis, which blooms
early.

KAEMPFERI (Japanese Iris)

As these magnificent Iris become better known
they gain in popularity and a field of them in
bloom or a few specimens artistically arranged
in the water garden is a truly lovely sight.
These Iris are the last to bloom. Coming into
flower the first part of June and continuing for
two or three weeks, they fill in a period when
flowers of this attractive type are particularly
welcome. They have proved hardy in most lo¬
calities, but should be covered with straw in the
northern and eastern states to prevent danger
from freezing and thawing. While more artistic
when grown in pools, they will flourish in any
good garden soil, provided they are planted in
a sunny location with an abundance of water,
especially at the blooming season.

bloom throughout the winter. They grow wild in
Algeria, Greece, and Asia Minor. The foliage is

BULBOUS LR Holland Type

One of the most satisfactory .groups to grow,
being particularly hardy in most states, but should
be well covered during the winter, with straw
or leaves, in the east.

The orchid-like flowers are of great beauty,
having many different shades and blendings of
color, and if cut in the bud will keep for a long
time in water. For best effect, they should be
planted in clumps of 25 or more bulbs, or are
very satisfactory placed in a long row in the
hardy border. Plant in early fall, six inches apart.
They bloom soon after the Daffodil season.

LYCORIS (Magic Lily)

Unique bulbs of the Amaryllis family and native
to Japan and China. The strap-like leaves appear
early in the spring and die in June. The bulbs
usually bloom in the late summer or early autumn,
appearing suddenly and in a few days attains a
height of two feet or more .which doubtless ac¬
counts for the name. A large clump of these
flowers in full bloom is a magnificent sight. The
bulb receives a severe shock when transplanted,
therefore does not often bloom until the second
season after planting. For the best blossoms it
is necessary that the leaves grow for as long as
possible and die back naturally. While the variety
"Squamigera” is reported hardy, even in the
eastern states, it is advisable to plant all in a
protected location and cover with a good mulch
during the winter months.

flowers usually in August. They are shaped like

summer. Grows from two to two and one half
feet tall. Each, $1.00.

THE AMARYLLIS FAMILY

The Amaryllis family, botanically known as
“Amaryllidacea” contains an interesting group of
bulbs which should become better known. Many
have funnel shaped blossoms and are sometimes
erroneously called “Lilies.” (See “Lilies in Name
Only.”) Pot culture is recommended for such tender
subjects as Olivia, Eucharis and Hippeastrums, ex¬
cept in the extreme south. Other bulbs in this
group can be grown outside, if planted in a
protected location and given a heavy mulch of
straw, dried leaves, or other light material. In
very cold climates the deciduous varieties may be
lifted and stored in a dry cellar during the
winter.
