NO IRIS SO NEARLY RESEMBLES THE ORCHID 

 Introduced last season, the demand for these was so great that we quickly sold out of 

 many of them. Very limited stock this year.

ENGLISH 

 IRIS 



It set'ins tluit tlu^re is no 

 group in tlie iris category 

 so easily grown, so sure to 

 flower, and so entraneing- 

 ly beautiful, yet so little 

 known, as the English 

 Iris. None so nearly re- 

 semble the orchid, none is 

 nioi'e adai)table to cutting, 

 and in addition to these 

 features, it flowers at a 

 period midway between 

 the bearded and Dutch 

 varieties and the Japs. 



The new introductions 

 whicli we offer are larger 

 in size, clearer in color, 

 and finer in foi-m and sub- 

 stance than the few sorts 

 hei'ctofore known. Surely 

 they are triumphs of the 

 idant breeder's art. 



This is a bulbous plant 

 and as in the ease of 

 tulips, daffodils, and the 

 like, they should be plant- 

 ed about 4 or 5 inches deep 

 IN THE FALL. If in a 

 very cold climate, mulch 

 with leaves, salt hay, or 

 boughs as soon as the 

 gi'ouiul freezes. 



Gale S. Hill 



Dark Avine-red, a very rich and striking flower, 

 unlike any other in this list. The petals are broad 

 and flare widely, and the deep coloring rivals some 

 of the Dominion strain of bearded ifis. 



Crater Lake 3 for $i; $3.50 per dozen 



A very bright clear blue self, quite tall, flowering 

 in midseason. 3 for 60 cents; $2 per dozen. 



Mount Rainier 



A magnificent pure white, the giant of this group 

 of introductions, with very bold foliage and tall 

 .stems. There is .just the faintest yellow line near the 

 throat. A grand flower and a true aristocrat. Very 

 limited stock. Each $1 



Lingerie 



The last Avord in an iris of orchid coloring and 

 effect. The soft, even, clear mauve-pink of this splen- 

 did creation is unmarred by any other color what- 

 ever, and in it we have the ideal so long desired by 



the hybridizer. In the garden and as a cut blossom 

 in the house this iris arrests the attention of all who 

 see it. and we predict that it will enjoy the widest 

 possible popularity when it becomes plentiful. We 

 have only a few bulbs to spare this fall. Each $3 



Santiam 



White, delicately touched with a reflection of 

 pearl. A large flower making a rapid increase. As is 

 the case with all the light toned varieties, this is a 

 beautiful thing under artificial light. 



3 for 60 cents ; $2 per dozen. 



MIXED, a wonderful mixture of Standard 

 and other varieties, providing a colorful show 

 for the garden or wonderful material for cut 

 flowers, at the very low price of 50 cents pei' 

 dozen, or a whole hundred for $4.00. Get ac- 

 (juainted with the English type of iris, you will 

 love it. But it must be planted tiiis Fall — not 

 next Spring ! Place your order now.
