HARDY BORDER PLANTS AND BULBS— Continued. 



Iris Germanica— German Iris The "£*££' e^"" 



No other flower has so many combinations of color, especially of the 

 delicate and unusual shades, and the name Rainbow Flower is most fit- 

 ting. They are absolutely hardy, as beautiful in form, texture and color- 

 ing as any Orchid, and many are delightfully fragrant. They are not 

 particular as to soil, will grow where anything will, but do better in 

 well-drained locations. There is nothing prettier than this German Iris, 

 blooming from May 10th to June 10th. The colors are gorgeous and they 

 completely hide the plant. The entire nine, costing §2.20, for $1.65.
