These magnificent Iris are among the most beaiitifal of our summer flowering 
plants, and are destined to become verj- popular. They must notbe confounded with 
the small flowering Iri« or Sweet Flag which jfrows wild in manjfcSCCtioDS of the 
country. Many of the flowers of the Japanese varieties are from 30 to 1 2 inches 
in diameter, and rival the orchid in their rich colorings and marking. They com- 
mence blooming about the middle of June, and produce a most gorgeous display of bloom for five 
or six weeks. While the Iris succeeds in almost any garden soil and under any conditions, they 
thrive best in a rich, deep, well manured, wet location, and should be abundantly watered during 
the blooming period.

THB NEW FT7BE WHITE DOUBLE PLOWEBINa HIBISGUS-Pew plants of 
recent introduction have given such delightful satisfaction as this New Doable Flowering 
Hibiscus. It begins to bloom about as soon as planted, and every leaf brings forth pure white, 
perfectly double flowers frequently measuring nine inches in circumference, which are mistaken 
by many for glorious Camelias. Such plants in 2'.^ inch pots frequently carry 6 to 8 open 
flowers and many buds. These chaste flowers are borne during the entire season and even in the 
winter, ornamenting alike both the lawn and the house. As a shrub it is quite hardy, while as a 
pot plant it is most attractive and desirable. Price for strong plants, 30o each.
