Garden of Mrs. Preston Corey, Reading, Mass. 



In planning any kind of color effect in the 

 garden one needs a flower that is big-hearted, 

 lavish with its blooms, easy to care for, adaptable 

 to a wide range of climate and soil. It can't 

 be too expensive, and it must increase three to 

 four fold each year, so the color mass you can 

 get from very few plants will be great enough 

 in a year or two to be completely satisfying. 

 Few garden flowers will meet these stiff 

 requirements, but the Iris certainly will, with 

 good measure and running over.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Everybody is talking about the new 

 pinic varieties. There are several offered in this catalog at very 

 modest prices, but, even so, most people have never seen a 

 pink Iris. Many will want to start with the less expensive kinds and 

 that is a sensible thing to do. But a few garden folks like the 

 thrill and satisfaction of owning and looking forward to 

 flowering something exceptional. Here is an Iris that will provide 

 tbai thrill! It costs S5.00 and is worth it.
