(Introductions of Goos & Koenemann.): 
An interesting new type, the result of crossing J: germanica 
with J. pumila hybrida, and for which there:promises tobe a ~ 
great future. *They bloom earlier than the German Iris, and the 
flowers combine perfection of form with large size, and clear and 
decided colors. The foliage is dwarf, and maintains its fresh- 
ness throughout the season. The flower-stems are almost 18 inches high, holding 
the flowers well above the foliage. 
‘Halfdan. Pure creamy-yellow, of perfect form. 
Helge. Light citron, with pearl-colored centre. A beautiful soit shade. 
Ingeborg. Pure white; flowers five inches deep with petals two inches wide. 
A grand flower. : 
Walhalla. Standards rosy-lavender; falls velvety claret-red. A most distinct 
and beautifully-formed flower. 
75 cts. each. Set of 4 varieties for $2.50. 
IRIS PUMILA HYBRIDA “THE BRIDE.” 
Without question the prettiest dwarf white Iris yet introduced. The perfectly 
formed flowers are creamy-white on opening, changing to pure white, and are 
borne on stems a foot high early in May. 35 cts. each; $3.50 per doz. 
IRIS PALLIDA FOLIA VARIEGATA. 
This new Iris is conspicuous on account of its beautifully-variegated foliage, 
which is of a glaucous green, with broad bands of creamy yellow, every leaf being 
well marked. It is of free growth, and when well established attains a height of 
2 to 23 feet, and is very attractive. Its flowers are of a soft, pale lavender. 50 
cts. each; $5.00 per doz. 
Iris Pallida Folia Argentea Wariegata. 
Identical to the above, except that the variegation, instead of being creamy-yel- 
low, is silvery-white; very pretty. 75 cts. each. 
LUPINUS POLYPHYLLUS MOERHEIMI. 
The European introducer of this plant, to whom we are indebted for many of 
our good hardy plants, in speaking of this new Lupine, says that it is one of the 
finest novelties in hardy plants he ever introduced, and we feel justified in adding 
that among the new perennials which we have tried none gave us mort pleasure. 
The habit of the plant is robust, forming symmetrical specimens 3 feet high, with 
spikes of flowers over a foot long, in color superb, being a combination of light 
and dark shades of pink without a trace of magenta. 54) cts. each; $5.(0 per doz.
