GERMAN IRIS 



SPIRAEA) Or ASTILEtEo In garden culture these flower freely during the summer, and 

 are perfectly hardy, but their great value is when grown in pots for window and greenhouse 

 decoration, in winter and spring, and for forcing for cutting. The flowers are borne in large, 

 feathery panicles of white, and last a long time in bloom. (Ready for shipment in November.) 



Japonica- The old favorite. Delivered: 18c. each, $1.75 per doz. 



Prices, if buyer pays transit, 12c. each, $1.25 per doz., $6.00 per 100. 



Astilboides Floribunda. A great improvement. The flowers are borne in large, feathery 

 panicles of purest white, and last a long time in bloom. It is dwarfer in habit, earlier and more 

 profuse in bloom than Spiraea Japonica. Undoubtedly one of the most beautiful and graceful 

 subjects grown for winter and spring decoration in the house and conservatory, while for grace 

 and elegance as a cut flower it is unequalled. Price, delivered : 20c. each, $2.00 per doz. 



Prices, if buyer pays transit, 15c. each, $1.50 per doz., $9.00 per 100. 



Gladstone. A new, large-flowering Spiraea— an improvement over all other white-flowerlngSpirams 

 — and one of the most beautiful winter and spring flowering pot plants grown ; the immense trusses 

 of flowers are as white as snow, and are borne on erect, strong stalks 18 inches high. Well- 

 grown plants bear 25 to 40 of these plume-like trusses practically enveloping the plant with 

 a feathery foam, too beautiful to be adequately described. Price of strong roots, delivered: 

 30c. each, $3.00 per doz. 



Prices, if buyer pays transit, 25c. each, $2.50 per doz., $18.00 per 100. 



GERMAN IRIS, (oer^.ca 



THESE are perfectly hardy, thrive anywhere, grow and bloom 

 luxuriantly, and are remarkably rich and beautiful in color 

 and graceful in form; they are highly ornamental with their 

 broad foliage and large, orchid-like flowers. They are of the 

 easiest culture and thrive in ordinary garden soil, blooming profusely 

 In May and June. Remarkably effective when grouped upon a lawn, 

 particularly if plentifully supplied with water, or if planted in moist 

 situations, or on the banks of ponds, etc. Plants well established 

 produce from 50 to 100 spikes of bloom, deliciously fragrant and 

 fine for cutting. Colors range through yellows, purples, blues, 

 claret-reds, white and bronzes of every imaginable shade. {Clumps 

 ready in November. ) (See cut. )

SPIRAEA GLADSTONE. 



SNOWDROPS. 



IN the early spring months there is nothing 

 more beautiful than a sheet of the 

 snowy graceful blossoms of the Snow- 

 drop. Effects of surpassing beauty 

 may be arranged with Snowdrops in the 

 centre, edged with.bright blue Scilla Sibirica 

 or Chionodoxa Lucilise, or by intermingling 

 them. When practicable, such plantings of 

 the Snowdrop should be permanent. The 

 Snowdrop and the Crocus, when planted in 

 alternate circles, are very effective and follow 

 each other in bloom so closely that no gap is 

 felt in the succession. Used as a permanent 

 edging and in masses on the edges of lawns, 

 nestling in the grass, they are charming.

100, $6.00 per 1,000.

 the ordinary single Snowdrop, flowers 

 slightly marked with green spots ; fine for 

 cutting. (See cut.) 3 8c. per doz., $1.00 

 per 100, $7.00 per 1,000.
