Mysterious as the opal, its structure more wonderful than the orchid, the beauty of the Iris is wholly 

 ethereal. If you yield to its magic spell it will lead you across the border into a wonderland of delight.

In the September issue of Garden I will tell you all about the wonderful collection of Peonies that my painstaking care has made the largest assortment in America. 



So many have asked me to help them plan their garden that I have found it necessary to form a special department in charge of a skillful landscape designer and 

 plantsman. I shall be glad to assist you in any way desired, whether by oil-hand suggestions or by advice, which will be cheerfully given without charge. For the 

 preparation of detailed plans a charge will be made.
