calls to mind Dr. Ayres' famous "Persia," but the dominant note is dull red instead of dull blue. 

 TAPESTRY is a favorite of Mrs. Ayres, who admired it especially as a cut flower in the house.

SPECIAL GROUP OFFER: Meldoric, Venus de Milo, Zuni and Tapestry, four gems of the mod- 

 ern Iris world, for $50.00. 



Japanese Irises 



We offer for the first time a select list of Japanese varieties. They are unsurpassed for natural- 

 izing along creek banks, ponds, or at the edge of small artificial pools in the yard. Their large flat 

 blossoms are produced after the bearded irises have passed, thus prolonging the season consider- 

 ably. Japanese Iris are happy in a moist situation, although they will not thrive where water 

 stands all winter. They will also give satisfaction in ordinary garden soil, but prefer a slightly 

 acid condition ; thus no lime should be applied to them. Delivery in early autumn, about Sept. 10. 

 PRICES: $2.50 per ten, five at the ten rate. No order accepted for less than five of one variety.

The following is an extract from a letter which we received a few days ago. Mr. 

 Hill's order was one of the first shipments we made this season: 



Dear Mr. Cooley: 



The marvelous roots came in perfect condition and were all in a well 

 prepared bed within a few hours. If these roots can have only one good 

 rain before our dry spell, they should make a wonderful showing. . . . 

 In spite of the price cutting I really have high hopes since their receipt, 

 due to your liberality in filling the order. . . . 



Again thanking you for your liberality with those "top-notcher" roots, 

 I am 



Yours truly, 



H. M. HILL.
