Japanese  Iris.   Almost  as  beautiful  and  rich  as  an  orchid 
HIBISCUS  Moscheutos,  var.  Crimson  Eye.  A 
woody  plant  often  5  feet  in  height.  It  is  fond  of 
moist  places,  although  it  grows  well  in  drier 
soils.  In  September  it  bears  large,  single  flowers 
with  crimson  centers.  It  is  a  beautiful  plant  in 
bloom  and  especially  suited  for  mixed  borders. 
HOLLYHOCKS.  Hollyhocks  are  so  well  known 
that  they  do  not  require  describing.  Their  value 
in  perennial  borders  and  for  interspersing  among 
shrubbery  is  realized.  We  offer  the  double 
fringed  Allegheny  Hollyhocks  in  assorted  colors, 
also  distinct  double  varieties  in  red,  white,  pink, 
maroon  and  salmon  colors. 
HYPERICUM  Moserianum.  Gold  Flower.  June

golden  yellow  flowers.

IRIS 
Sometimes  known  as  Flags  "  and  often  spoken 
of  as  "  Fleur  de  Lis."  Popular  herbaceous  plants 
that  come  up  year  after  year,  and  each  season 
stronger  and  more  floriferous  than  the  previous. 
They  grow  in  clumps  and  do  well  in  almost  anv 
soil ;  are  desirable  in  borders  and  shrubbery  and 
are  beautiful  in  beds  and  groups  by  themselves, 
and  for  planting  along  water  edges.  The  flowers

IRIS,  continued 
embrace  a  variety  of  colors  and  innumerable 
tints  of  blue,  yellow  and  white.  Those  of  the 
German  forms  are  not  so  delicately  colored, 
nor  are  they  so  large  as  the  flowers  of  the 
Japanese  varieties.  They  bloom  the  latter  part 
of  May  and  are  through  flowering  the  last  of 
June,  when  the  Japanese  Iris  are  brilliant 
with  their  wealth  of  flowers.  Both  are  needed 
to  give  a  continuous  effect  from  May  to  July.
