Incarvillea. 



Delavayi. A fine, hardy, tuberous-rooted plant, very aptly called 

 the hardy Gloxinia. One of the choicest perennials. It produces 

 large, rose-colored, trumpet-shaped flowers, which last in perfection 

 a long time. These are produced in clusters on stems 18 inches 

 high. Extra strong roots. $1.50 per dozen; $12.00 per 100. 



Grandiflora. Incarvillea Delavayi has on account of its very large 

 and striking, rose-colored flowers, become a general favorite, and 

 is being planted very extensively, but is much surpassed, both in 

 size and beautiful coloring, by this new form on which the flowers 

 are fully one-half larger as well as brighter in color, while the habit 

 of the plant is much more compact. We offer a limited stock at 

 $1.00 each.

Iris Sibirica Orientalis " Snow Queen." 



Among the strong free-growing Iris, adapting themselves to almost 

 any position, and producing a mass of deep blue flowers under the 

 most adverse conditions. Ins Sibirica Orientalis has always appealed 

 to us as one of the very best, and, as a most useful and attractive plant. 

 This new variety possesses the same general habit as its parent, except 

 in the color of the flowers, which are of a pure white. A valuable 

 addition to our list of Iris. 25 cts. each; $2.50 per dozen. 



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, and is very constant in its coloring, each leaf being well 

 marked. It is of free growth, and when well established attains a 

 height of 2 to 2'/2 feet, and is very attractive. Its flowers are of a soft 

 pale lavender. 35 cts. each ; $3 50 per dozen.
