. Yucca ftlamentosaâAdam's Needle, Spanish Bayonet. HARDY PERENNIALSâContinued. Japanese and German Irises The Rainbow Flower of the Greeks; The Fleur de Lis of the Frencl The memory of the "Blue Flag" of the old-time gardens is one eveil sweet to those whose lives were lived in such surroundings, and while the "modern" Irises, if we may use the term, will remind one of the old days, they, too, like everything else of these days, have yielded to the influence of improvement, and there has been evolved a race of flowers absolutely bewildering in the glory of their form and color. Not the least valuable of their charms lies in the fact that their flowering period covers such a long time in early spring and summer, and with a proper selection it is possible to have Irises in bloom in the garden from early in March, while snow is still on the ground, to latet in July, when the magnificent Japanese Irises, arrayed in their splen- dor of purple and blue and gold and white, with flowers often a foot across, end the glorious procession. Hardy everywhere and, once planted, they last a lifetime. Japanese Iris â Iris Kaempferi The most gorgeously colored hardy plants in existence; beautiful. Our stock is especially fine.
