derive in watching them bloom \vill well repay 
you for the small sum invested. 
Mr. C. M. Chase of Northville, Michigan, 
bought 100 of these mixed iris in 1920 and liked 
them so well that he ordered 250 more last June. 
MIXED SIBERIAN IRIS 
Most of them are as good as named varieties. 
$7.00 per 100. 
WliEN TO PLANT. I have planted iris ten 
months m the year with good success. The most 
favorable time is shortly after blooming, and last 
season shipped 4000 to all sections of the U. S. 
the last of June. If planted early they make a 
good growth, and nearly every plant should bloom 
the following season. 
WHERE TO PLANT. A dry, sunny location 
suits them best. Avoid fresh manure when plant- 
ing, in fact, all manure where bearded iris are 
planted. 
Six at dozen and 50 at 100 rates. At each and 
dozen rates my seedling iris will be sent prepaid. 
'This bed is all selected iris seedlings, and contains 
hundreds of fine varieties. Only five have been named. 
In my hand is a fan from a single division. Some 
varieties in this bed have rich foilage three feet in 
height. 
PEONIES 
^ They can be planted from early September un- 
til late fall or in the spring, but early planting is 
considered the best for they will make some root 
growth before cold weather, and will bloom bet- 
ter the following season. I store the roots in my 
storage cellar in sand, and always plant as late 
as the last of May with good success. I have 
two roots in my cellar now that were put there 
in September, 1921. These will be planted next 
spring, and am certain they will grow. 
In planting be sure to have the new buds that 
have formed at the crown of the plant two inches 
below the surface when planted. Do not set the 
plant on too loose dii-t so that it Avill settle after 
planting. Too deep planting is one cause of not 
blooming well.
