JAPANESE IRIS 



These exquisitely beautiful, hardy flowers have been a leading specialty in our Nur- 

 sery for twenty years, and we have made annual additions to our collections by selections 

 from thousands of seedlings, and by yearly importations from Japan. Our stock is now 

 the largest and most complete outside of Japan. 



These hardy, splendid plants are of the easiest culture, but surpass even orchids in 

 their variety and exquisiteness of coloring. One gentleman who saw them in bloom in our 

 Nursery, ordered two hundred dollars' worth for his garden, and if every reader of this 

 advertisement could see these iris in our nursery, our great stock would soon be exhausted. 



They are not expensive. The newest and rarest cost $ 1 .00 each. The best vari- 

 eties are priced at $2.00 per dozen — $13.00 per hundred, and mixtures (these do not 

 include the best) at $1.25 per dozen — $6.00 per hundred. 



SPECIAL OFFER — Ot some of the best varieties we have enormous stocks, and when the selection is left 



to us, we furnish these at $1.25 per dozen — $9.00 per hundred — $70.00 per thousand. We also offer 



collections at $1.00, $2.50, $5.00, $10.00 and $25.00 each. These are all priced at a reduced rate. 



Our catalogue tells all about these Iris and hundreds of other hardy Plants, 



Peonies, Phloxes, Lilies, Roses, Trees and Shrubs and is sent free upon request.

A 



Beautiful 



Lawn 



Is to the house as the 

 setting to a gem. A 

 beautiful home beauti- 

 fully located, deserves 

 a beautiful lawn sur- 

 rounding it. Ordinary 

 grass seed or sod will 

 not do. You must get 



Watered Special Evergreen Lawn Grass 



to get best results. It is the best that money can buy — the result of 30 

 years' experience in lawn making in Europe and America. It is a blend 

 of ten of the finest dwarf-growing, slender-leaved, hardy grasses — early, 

 medium and late (practically evergreen) and all of them of permanent 

 character (not annual), and all tested for the trying American climate.

THE BEST IN DAHLIAS 



I grow no flowers except Dahlias. 

 I have specialized on these for many 

 years and am in the position to 

 furnish you with the very choicest 

 varieties obtainable. 



Only divided field-grown roots (or 

 bulbs) are sold and every bulb is guaran- 

 teed. Any one can grow Dahlias — any- 

 one with a few feet of garden soil, and 

 there are no plants that can be grown 

 with so little care and that produce as 

 many large and exquisite flowers.

familiar with the names, colors and 



characteristics of the dahlia, and wish to

 own personal selection, no two alike, and each one labeled $1.00

 limited. Price, while they last 1-00 



SPECIAL No. 4 COLLECTION. If you prefer to pay express on a No. 4 Collec- 

 tion, I will put in ten (10) EXTRA BULBS, making 35 bulbs for .$1.00
