 Mised — We offer a splendid assortment of 

 the finest named sorts. Each 10c; per

The Iris has always been a very popular plant, but since the intro- 

 duction of the several exceedingly handsome varieties now in cultiva- 

 tion it has really become indispensable. The flowers are almost inde- 

 scribably beautiful and are produced in amazing profusion for several 

 weeks in early summer. All of the varieties are perfectly hardy and 

 succeed admirably in any good, rich garden soil, preferring, however, 

 a rather moist situation.
