HENRY A. DEEER, Philadelphia, Pa. 



JAPANESE IRIS 



Xe\ir Hybrid Alpine Iris. 



An entirely new and distinct race, the result of over 20 years' 

 -work in hybridization by an enthusiastic specialist on the Island 

 ■of Guernsey. All are perfectly hardy and useful, not only in 

 the hardy border, but also for forcing, as with the minimum of 

 Keat they can readily be flowered in January and February. 

 Charmer. Light cream color. 

 Haydn. Porcelain blue, primrose beard. 

 Josephine. Pure white. 



Meteor. Rich reddish-purple with yellow beard. 

 Milton. Rich yellow, lined maroon, orange beard. 

 -Stewart. A good pure yellow. 



20 cts. each ; §2.00 per doz. ; $15.00 per lOO. 



Iris Pumila Hybrida. 



A cross between the dwarf early flowering /. pnmila and 

 the .large-flowering /. germanica. Their period of flowering 

 is a trifle later than the pumila section, with flowers almost 

 as large, showy and attractive as the German Iris. Our 

 trials of these varieties in the hardy border the past season, 



as well as earlier forcings under glass, have fully convinced 

 -us of their desirability for both purposes. 



Cyanea. Rich royal purple, with blackish shadings. 



Eburna. Pure white, with creamy-white shadings. 



Florida. A beautiful lemon-yellow, shaded darker.
