FARQUHAR'S JAPANESE IRISES, iris Kcempferi. 



In these we find combinations of form and beauty far excelling any 

 other type. The stately flowers are often 10 to 12 inches in diameter, and 

 of wonderfully varied and beautiful colors. They require rich, moist soil. 

 Our collection is a direct importation from Japan and is remarkably fine.

FARQUHAR'S GOLD-MEDAL Pv^ONIES. 



The Gold Medal of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society was awarded to R. & J. FARQUHAR & CO. for a Display 

 of Pseonies, June, 1913. 



PsDonies require a good, rich, deep soil and an abundant supply of water during the growing season. When enriching the ground the 

 use of too much fresh manure near the roots should be avoided. An important point to observe is not to plant too cleep. The roots 

 should be planted so that the eyes will be 2 to 3 inches below the surface. Too deep planting is a frequent cause for shy flowering. 



The figure following the name indicates the relative time of flowering.
