JAPANESE IRIS— MIXED 



This is not just a mixture of discarded sorts. A 

 few years ago a hybridizer, speciahzing in Iris, sold 

 us his surplus of unnamed seedhngs, many so dis- 

 tinctively beautiful as to be well worth off"ering 

 separately. To those we added a few good varieties, 

 the labels of which had become lost in our nursery. 

 We are here ofl"ering you this truly superb combina- 

 tion of the finest blood in the Iris family. Each 15c., 

 doz. S1.50, 100 SIO.OO.

 stream, with flowers in early Summer.

 rules the perennial list.

 geous Hybrid Larkspurs have surpassed all their 

 rivals in size, color range, and beauty. From palest 

 azure to deepest indigo-purple, no shade of blue is 

 omitted. They leave nothing to be desired by the 

 most critical flower lover, for they have come as 

 close to sheer perfection as have any perennials.
