LOVETTS NURSERY, LITTLE SILVER, N. J.— HARDY PERENNIALS 49 



LIBERTY IRIS. (Continued) 



One point worthy of emphasis, in connection with Iris, is that they are not particular as to soil — they 

 thrive in even the poorest; in fact, they are one of the relatively few perennials that do well in the sandy 

 soils near the seashore. Since the rhizomes multiply rapidly, the original roots should be planted at least 

 3 feet apart.

IRIS PUMILA 

 HYBRIDS 



8 in. — These Hybrids 

 were produced by Dr. 

 Van Fleet, the celebrated 

 plant hybridizer.

 these Hybrids, almost a solid mass of 

 color, the flowers of this variety being 

 a bright canary yellow. 



Sea Gull — The flowers are the 

 same gray, but not a cold gray, that 

 one sees frequently in a winter sky. It is 

 also the color of the plumage of a sea gull . 



Swan — Although the blooms, of 

 this variety, from a distance look pure 

 white, they have, upon close examina- 

 tion, a suggestion of cream, or a very 

 faint bluish cast about them. 



Blue Jay — Produces flowers of a 

 cheerful bright blue which, contrasted 

 with the lighter colored blooms of the 

 other three sorts, give a most striking 

 and beautiful effect. 

 Each, 30c; dozen, $3.00. 



Iris pumila, Mixed — The colors 

 range through the various shades of blue 

 and yellow. Many show bloom early in 

 May. Each, 20c; dozen, $2.00.
