They lead the parade ! Right with the 

 Daffodils come the Dwarf Iris. Short in 

 stature and delicate in structure^ they are 

 none the less stout of heart and brave the 

 icy blasts and cold rains of early Spring 

 with the courage of a Spartan. 



Most Dwarf Irises multiply very fast, 

 creating a sheet of bloom, and later on, a 

 dense mat of green foliage. Long recog- 

 nized as admirable subjects for the rock 

 garden, and as an edging plant in the flower 

 border, these miniatures are perfectly 

 adapted to embellishment of the flagstone 

 path. Scatter them here and there along the 

 intervening spaces. The springtime showing 

 will delight you.

ith it in 

 none of 



them are as easy and simjile to grow — it is practically fool-proof. This lily 

 is bright red in color, the central portion being a bright yellow with dark 

 spots. The anthers are long and very pronounced, lending grace and airi- 

 ness to the flower. Stems are straight and strong with no tendency to 

 droop. It has been known to attain a height of twelve feet, with from 

 twenty to forty flowers to the stalk, and may be depended upon to grow 

 consistently to five or six feet. Not ]>articular as to soil, it will thrive in 

 full sun or partial shade, and while it appreciates good drainage, a liberal 

 amount of water during the growing season pays good dividends in larger 

 blossoms and greater height. Plant medium depth, about eight or nine 

 inches, in a position where water or seepage will not stand during the 

 winter. Jiily flowering. Bulbs delivered in September and October only. 

 Strong, well grown bulbs, each 75c; 3 for $1.75; a dozen for $5.00 postjiaid.
