They lead the parade ! Right with the Daffodils come the Dwarf Iris. Short in stature and delicate in structure, they are none the less stout of heart and brave the icy blasts and cold rains of early Spring with the courage of a Spartan. Most Dwarf Irises multiply very fast, creating a sheet of bloom, and later on, a dense mat of green foliage. Long recog- nized as admirable subjects for the rock garden, and as an edging plant in the flower border, these miniatures are perfectly adapted to embellishment of the flagstone path. Scatter them here and there along the intervening spaces. The springtime showing will delight you. Our list of Dwarfs is enlarged this year, so that you may enjoy a wide and attractive selection.
