This little booklet gives valuable in-

 special attention to native ferns, orchids, 

 and wild flowers. It gives detailed in-

 garden and the cultivation, selection, 

 and grouping of plants for same. We

 regular catalogue will tell you all about these.

Wing's Iris 



" \ rainbow has descended on the 

 garden." — From ths Persian. These 

 words would express the feelings of 

 one coming unexpectedly upon a 

 planting of the wonderful Iris, un- 

 folding its luminous flowers in the sunlight. 

 Only one who has seen it so growing can 

 form an idea of its beauty. It is of stately 

 habit and great decorative value. The grace- 

 ful flowers are of both soft and brilliant hues, 

 ranging from white and pearl to deepest 

 purple and maroon. Perfectly hardy and of 

 easiest cultivation. 



Our collection, one of the largest in the 

 world, comprises the best American and 

 European novelties. The New Exclusion 

 Act bars further importation of these plants. 

 Thcv are therefore bound to become scarcer 

 and higher priced.
