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



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 flow- 

 ers are of truly enormous size (6 to 8 inches 

 in diameter) and of the most gorgeous and 

 richly varied colors imaginable. Blooming 

 season, June-July. 



The four varieties which we offer are en- 

 tirely distinct and will be found a most desir* 

 able addition to any collection. They were 

 selected by Prof. Georgeson, while in Japan 

 some years ago, as being among the most 

 beautiful in a garden holding scores of varietiesj 

 DOUBLE WHITE (Gold Bound)— Six 

 large, open milk-white petals, deep yellow at 

 base. 



PEACOCK — Nine large overlapping petals; 

 violet purple, veined with white. 



Pyramid— Nine large petals, indigo blue, 

 veined with white. 



STELLA — Three violet petals, veined 

 white. 



Strong roots, each, 40c; dozen, $4.00; 

 100, $30.00. 



JAPANESE IRIS (Mixed)— Some time 

 ago, a specialist and hybridizer offered us his 

 surplus of unnamed seedlings — some so 

 unique and beautiful 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, $12.00. 



JAPANESE IRISES ARE OF TRULY REGAL SPLENDOR 



German or Liberty IRIS l t ^n% 



A CULTURAL HINT -Most planters set Iris 

 roots too deeply. They should be so placed that 

 the neck of the root is just level with the surface 

 of the ground. The upright petals are termed 

 "stands"; the drooping ones, "falls." 



Varieties of Unusual Merit 



FLORENTINA ALBA (Silver Queen)— Stands 

 and falls, porcelain, shading to pure white; flowers 

 large; blooms very early; fragrant. 



IRIS KING— Stands, clear lemon yellow; falls, 

 rich maroon, bordered with yellow. Flowers very 

 large and exceedingly brilliant in color. 



PALLIDA DALMATICA (true)— Stands, ten- 

 der lavender; falls, deeper lavender with shadings of 

 soft blue. Flowers very large and fragrant. Tall 

 habit. 



Each, 25c; dozen, $2.50. 



Summit, N. J. 



The box of plants arrived in perfect condition, 

 and it was a pleasure to plant them. I expect to 

 order many more things in the Spring.

Tionesta, Pa. 



The stock that I have from time to time bought 

 from your Nursery has always been fine in quality 

 and received heretofore in the best condition pos- 

 sible. This fact, coupled with your evident wish to 

 be more than fair in considering complaints made by 

 your patrons, confirms my former opinion that 

 "Lovett's" is the best place I know of to buy Nurs- 

 ery Stock.
