THE CANADIAN HORTICULTURIST 



109 



Potatoes $1,250 a Pound 



; On account of the potato disease being so 

 prevalent in Gieat Britain for many years, 

 there has been an effort to produce a blight and 

 disease proof potato, as well as a heavy crop- 

 per. The result is the Eldorado, introduced 

 by Mr. A. Findlay. It is owing to the won- 

 derful cropping qualities of this potato, as well 

 as it being a blight and disease resister, that 

 caused the furore in Great Britain the past 3 

 years, and which has resulted in the highest 

 prices — almost fabulous — ever paid, for any 

 introduction, into the vegetable kingdom, in 

 all time, $7,000 having been paid for 14 pounds 

 in 1903. 



The Eldorado should be of interest to Cana- 



dian growers, to whom it is now offered for the 

 first time by Smith Bros, at reasonable prices, 

 considering the great value claimed for this 

 potato. Take note of Smith Bros.' advertise- 

 ment in this issue.

JAPANESE IRIS 



(IIRIS KAEMPFERI) 



These magnificent Iris 

 are among the most beau- 

 tiful of our summer flow- 

 ering plants, and are be- 

 comingmore popular 

 every season. They com- 

 mence blooming about the 

 middle of June, and con- 

 tinue for five or six weeks. 

 Many of these flowers 

 measure from 10 to 12 

 inches in diameter, and 

 rival the Orchids in their 

 rich colorings and mark- 

 ings. While the Iris suc- 

 ceeds in almost any soil 

 and conditions, they de- 

 light in a rich, deep, moist 

 position and should be 

 abundantly, supplied with 



manure and water 



Named Varieties— Price 20o each, 3 for 50c, doz. $2.00. 



Mixed Varieties — Strong roots 15c each, 3 for 40c, doz. $1.50 



IRIS CERMANICA — German Irises are certainly unparalleled for beauty; 



nothing i crc;ition can vie with them unless the orchids from the tropics. 



Every shade of color may be foimd among them, and they will thrive in almost 



any soil without any care whatever. Strong roots 10c each. 3 for 25C. doz. 800.
