PEONIES 
'T'HESE are absolutely hardy everywhere, have no insect enemies, and always live and in- 
crease in beauty. The finer and newer varieties of this old garden favorite will de- 
light every one, as the perfection of flower and the variety of color have been carried to a 
very high degree. The flowers are well adapted for cutting, and for the ornamentation of 
the house, as they rival the rose in perfection of flower and brilliancy of coloring, possessing 
a striking individuality that is in accord with the present taste and style in floral decorations. 
Our collection embraces the choicest sorts in the most striking color — white, pink, crimson, 
etc., in various shades. 
STRONG PLANTS 3 TO 5-EYE 35c EACH 
IRIS OR FLAGS. 
JAPAN (Iris Kaempferi). A fine, hardy 
plant which does well in cool, moist places. 
This Iris would be used much more if its 
beauty were known. Blooms from the middle 
of June until August. The various shades of 
color are exquisite, in blue, lavender, white 
and cream. Each, 10c; doz., $1.00. 
GERMAN (Fleur de Lis). This variety is 
more commonly used and is very successful 
in moist or watery places. The varieties are 
blue, white, purple and violet. Each, 10c; 
doz., $1.00. 
ITALIAN IRIS. A most beautiful and the 
only fragrant variety of the Iris. • It is culti- 
vated for the bulbs, which, when dried and 
powdered, make the finest of face powders. 
Each, 15c; doz., $1.50. 
SEBERICA. (Yale Blue.) A slender, grace- 
ful, tall-growing Iris, with flowers quite sim- 
ilar to those of the German Iris, but smaller 
and much more numerous. The plants form 
large, strong, compact clumps, and bloom so 
freely that the deep blue flowers give almost 
a solid color effect. Eact, 15c; doz., $1.50. 
ANEMONE (Wind Flower) 
JAPONICA. This is the summer flowering 
anemone which makes a hardy plant. Espe- 
cially good for cut flowers. We have some 
fine clumps in red, pink and white. Each, 25c. 
CANNAS 
A flowering bulb which produces immense 
plants of dark green foliage and brilliant 
flowers of red and yellow. They should be 
planted in the early spring, in rich soil, and 
watered freely for two weeks after planting. 
Ked or yellow, each, 20c; 3 for 50c. 
HARDY NYMPHAES OR WATER 
LILIES 
The Water Garden is an important feature 
in garden and landscape effects. The great 
diversity in size, color and other features 
among the Water Lilies gives the Water 
Gardening a peculiar fascination, interest and 
charm. 
A Water Garden may be enjoyed in a sunny 
back yard as well as in large gardens or pre- 
tentious grounds. 
We have these in white, pink, red and yel- 
low and offer extra fine roots, aclimated to 
this climate, at 35c and 50c each. (Cannot 
ship before the middle of April.)
