ELLA V. BAINES, THE WOMAN FLORIST, SPRINGFIELD, OHIO. 



Liberty Iris 



The "Fleur De Lis" of France 



No other flower has so many combinations of 

 color, especially of the delicate and unusual shades, 

 and the name Rainbow Flower is most fitting. They, 

 are absolutely hardy, as beautiful in form, texture 

 and coloring- as any Orchid, and many are delight- 

 fully 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 Liberty Iris, blooming from May 10th to 

 June 10th. The colors are gorgeous and they com- 

 pletely hide the plant. Be sure and plant some 

 Liberty Iris. The entire eight, costing $2.25, for

Hardy Perennial Phlox 



This is one of the most easily grown hardy peren- 

 nials, and the large number of beautiful varieties 

 now offered make it especially desirable. These 

 noble flowers are not only beautiful as individuals, 

 but the cheerful appearance of our gardens during 

 the summer and autumn months is much indebted 

 to them. They succeed in any position or soil, and 

 can be used to advantage either as single specimens 

 in the mixed border or as large clumps or beds on 

 the lawn. To produce the best results, however, 

 they should have a rich, deep and rather moist soil, 

 and let each clump have a space of from two to 

 three feet in which to develop. They will continue 

 to thrive for several years with little attention, as 

 is attested by the fine clumps about old home- 

 steads. The ease with which they are cultivated, 

 their entire hardiness and the extended time of 

 blooming, combined with the varied and beautiful 

 coloring, make them especially valuable for garden 

 planting. The Perennial Phlox usually commence 

 to bloom in early summer, and are brilliant with 

 color until after* several frosts have come. They 

 are admirably adapted for cemetery planting, also 

 for a low hedge or screen to hide old fences and 

 unsightly objects. Do not fail to plant Phlox in 

 the fall, any time from September until the ground 

 is frozen.
