LOVETT'S NURSERY, LITTLE SILVER, N, J.— PERENNIALS 



Imperial Japanese IRIS 



(Iris Kaempferi) 



These differ from the commonly 

 grown, and better known, German Irises 

 offered below in that they carry their 

 flowers on top of their stately stems. 

 The individual flowers are of truly enor- 

 mous size (6 to 8 inches in diameter) 

 and of the most gorgeous and richly 

 varied colors imaginable. Blooming 

 season, Tune-July.

 large, open milk-white petals, deep yel- 

 low at base.

 purple, with showy golden throat ex-

 w^hite.

JAPANESE IRIS (Mixed)— Some 

 time ago, a specialist and hybridizer 

 offered us his surplus of unnamed 

 seedlings — some so unique and beau- 

 tiful as to be well-worth naming and 

 offering separately. To these we 

 added other good varieties of which 

 the labels had become lost in the 

 nursery. The entire lot is offered 

 to you in this mixture — a truly superb 

 combination of the finest blood ! 

 Splendid, strong roots, each, 20c.; 

 dozen, $2.00; 100, $14.00.
