IRIS " JUNCEA". Our imported stock of this rare 

 bulbous iris from Africa has just l)cen released. The 

 flowers are a solid very deep yellow — the richest 

 tone of this color in any iris. Form is similar to the 

 Dutch or Spanish iris, but it blooms two or three 

 weeks later, on straight and slender stems, 2 to 3 

 feet tall. 



This is a genuine novelty, practically unknown to 

 American gardens as yet. It has proven perfectly 

 hardy in New York state. 



Plant the bull)s 5 or 6 inches deep, in ordinary 

 soil with good drainage. 



Each 50c; three for $1.25; $4 per dozen 



IRIS "RETICULATA". This little gem belongs 

 among the first luirbingers of spring, blooming even 

 ahead of the crocus. The stems are about 8 or 10 

 inches high, crowned with brilliant purple blossoms 

 lit with a bright orange blotch. They have a pro- 

 nounced violet fragrance. 



Reticulata makes a cheery patch in the rock gar- 

 den or low border, and they last for two or three 

 days Avhen cut and brought into the house. Bulbs 

 should be planted in the late summer or early fall, 

 about 4 or 5 inches deep, in a Avell drained sunny 

 location. 



Each 50c; three for $1.25; $4 per dozen
