THE BEAUTIFUL SPANISH IRIS. 



We are glad to ask attention to this splendid Iris, which 

 is one of the easiest grown and most beautiful of Hardy 

 Suinmer=flowering Bulbs. It is absolutely sure to bloom, 

 grows twelve to fifteen inches high, and bears lovely, large, 

 orchid-like flowers of many brilliant and striking colors, 

 including elegant combinations of fine porcelain blue, deep 

 violet, royal purple, golden-yellow, rich orange, pearly-white, 

 and coal-black — beautifully variegated, striped, spotted, and 

 ruffled in a manner impossible to describe. A bed of them 

 is sure to make an indescribably gay and beautiful display 

 of striking and unusual colors, very handsome and certain 

 to attract notice. They are perfectly hardy, need no protec- 

 tion, and will bloom every spring without attention. They re- 

 quire very little room, will do well among shrubbery or other 

 flowers, and also in pots : very pretty and useful for beds, 

 borders, and edging, in door-yards, lawns, and cemeteries. 

 We put the price very low, and hope all who can wili gi ve them 

 a liberal trial. Price, good, blooming bulbs, three for 

 locts.; 30 cts. per doz. SPECIAL TRIAL OFFER.—
