The Glen Steel Folding Mat 



Prevents Anyone Tracking Iflnd or Snow Into the House. 



One scrape of the foot in any direction across a Glen Steel Mat takes off all those balls of mud 

 and snow which cling so tenaciously and resist all the ordinary mats. The Glen Mat is neat and 

 attractive, is easily cleaned, does not curl up. Its wonderful construction and flexibility will make 

 it wear a lifetime. Unexcelled for residences and entrances to all public and private buildings. All 

 first class dealers handle the Glen, if jours don"t, write today for catalog and particulars. We make 

 bar an J soda-fountain mats on same principle.

An Interesting White and Yellow 

 Iris 



KERNER'S oriental iris {Iris orientalis) 

 is one of the most distinct and striking 

 irises of early and middle June. It is a 

 robust plant with broad leaves and flowering 

 stems about four feet long. The flowers 

 have pure white standards and falls, with 

 bright yellow marking on the hafts. 



/. Sibirica, var. orientalis, is grown in 

 many gardens as /. orientalis, but the plant 

 here figured is properly so named. It is Iris 

 ochroleuca of Linnaeus. It belongs to the 

 spuria group of the botanist, other good ex- 

 amples of which are /. aurea, a golden-yellow 

 form, and /. Monnieri, of a lighter yellow. 



Iris spuria, var. notha, I have seen grown 

 under the nursery name of I. ochroleuca. It is 



218. Kerner's variety of the oriental iris (Iris 

 orientalis. var. Kemeriana). It is a dwarf form of a 

 species which ordinarily grows four feet high, and 

 has white and yellow flowers 



a robust form of the type, and with individ- 

 ually rather pleasing light lavender flowers, but 

 not as effective in the garden as I. orientalis. 



The plant figured here is an Asia Minor 

 form, known to foreign catalogues as /. 

 Kemeriana. It is, however, in every respect 

 like the type, except in being smaller in its 

 parts. This is one of those fanciful distinc- 

 tions which delights the botanist and wearies 

 the gardener with another name.
