€7 I OFFER you an unusual opportunity to obtain 

 it large sized roots of these popular favorites. You 

 don't have to buy the small stock and wait two or 

 three years for flowers — get these "special ojfer 

 clumps;" fully three limes the regular size plant. 



f[ EARLY FALL planting is mighty important, 

 || as it allows the plants to make root growth and 

 become firmly established before winter. 



C[ 3TV COLLECTION is not extensive, but each variety is <£w- 

 tl tinctly dijfere7it, many of my customers say it is the 

 finest collection they have ever seen. German Irises on ac- 

 count of the richness and beauty of their flowers are some- 

 times called the Hardy Orchids. The marvelous veining- and 

 tracing, and the delicate intermingling of colors give them a 

 charm which'no other flower possesses. Many of them have 

 a delicious fragrance. 



The named varieties I offer are: 



CELESTE. Pure celestial blue; beautiful flower, tall and 

 majestic. Fine for massing.

 rosv lilac; dwarf in habit.

 large flower. 



II. CKA3IER. Delicate lavender; lower petals a shade 

 darker. One of the finest. 



HONORABILIS. Golden yellow; lower petals rich ma- 

 hogany. Flowers held high above the foliage. One of 

 the best of the vellows.
