Fair's Irises for 

 August Planting 



An Iris garden is in itself a floral world in which the enthusiast may have 

 full scope for his wildest fancy. There are Irises for every imaginable situation, 

 and in some form or other they may be had in bloom nearly every month in 

 the year. 



My Surpassing Collection of Irises 



Is at your Service for August planting. There's not another such collection in 

 all America. My catalogue describes hundreds of varieties that can be ob- 

 tained nowhere else in the country. Send for it at once if you are interested. 



PEONIES. — The most complete collection ever catalogued. 



ORIENTAL POPPIES.— Unrivaled for dazzling, barbaric splendor; 

 absolutely hardy. They must be planted in August for best results. I have 

 all the choicest kinds.

Peonies may be planted any time during the fall months, but September 

 and October planting will give the best results.
