Mixed Colors. Under the above head- 
ing we arc selling a very fine lot of plants 
of our own origination from se- 
leclcd seed. .\mong them are 
some of the finest we have ever 
seen, ranging in color from almost 
white to nearly black. 
Lemoine's Seedling. Of the 
seedling Gladioli grown by Mr. 
Lemoine, we have some lo or 12 
varieties. These varieties range 
in shades from white with deep 
velvety red throats, lo deep 
purple with throatsalmost black. 
The characteristic feature of the 
Lemoine's .Seedling is the deep 
modling of dark color in the 
throat of the flower, and the 
plants are a little irregular in 
their habits of growth. Desirable.

early and with wonderful com- 
binations of coloring. Kasily 
distinguished from other Iris by 
their broad, sword-like leaves. 
We olTer eight named varieties.

Japan. Flowers differ from the German 
Iris in being broad and flat. They exhibit 
a wonderful variety of colors and shades 
and appear later than the others. They 
rank among the most desirable of hardy 
plants; succeed best in a moist soil.

most desirable plants for a border, or for 
marking lines, etc., known to us. It is 
very persistent, and will hold its own in 
blue-grass sod. Foliage long, slender 
and graceful; flowers borne on slender 
stems about 18 inches to 2 feet high, usu- 
ally two or three flowers on a stem. The 
flowers are a deep, clear purple and very 
graceful. It is perfectly hardy, and we 
consider it one of the most desirable of 
the Iris family.

flowers, but they need planting on well- 
drained soil, and if fertilizers are used 
they must be well decomposed.
