NEW FLORAL GUIDE—AUTUMN, 1899. 25 
THE BEAUTIFUL JVANIJH IRIS. 
These are fine for blooming in pots in winter; they bear lovely 
large orchid-like flowers of most brilliant colors, blue, purple, yel- 
low, pearly white and black, beautifully variegated, striped, 
spotted and ruffled; they are also entirely hardy and splendid for 
bedding in open ground, need no protection and will bloom finely 
every spring without attention. We put the price very low and 
hope all who can will give them a liberal trial.

NEW PALESTINE IRIS. 
We import these magnificent Iris direct from Palestine, and they are probably the most interesting nov- 
elty for house aud winter bloom recently offered ; the flowers are large and of very remarkable form, and 
rival the finest orchids in beauty and variety of colorings and markings. We recommend them especially for 
house culture, as they grow ahd bloom nicely in pots without special care, but would scarcely stand the winter | 
in open ground unless carefully protected. They are one of the choicest and most interesting novelties you 
can have for winter bloom. Stock is limited and orders will be filled strictly in rotation.
