REG AL L ILIES 
2 0<f. each, 6 bulbs $1.00 postpaid. 
This great Chinese lily has, without doubt, taken the load among all lilies 
grown in America. Its vigorous and hardy habit of growth together with its stately 
beauty make it indeed the Icing of the lily family. The pleasantly fragrant flower 
is white with yellow throat and external shadings of pink. The regal may be.planted 
in the fall as well as in the spring. Plant six inches deep in well drained soil. 
In most of our soil it is best to place sand under and around the bulb (about a 
quart to each bulb). If the entire bed is about half sand so much the better. 
Never use manure around bulbs. 
DAY LILIES- 
15^ each, 8 rhizomes $1,00 postpaid 
These lemon colored lily-like flowers are among the finest for background for 
the lily pool or rook garden. They thrive anywhere and multiply very rapidly. 
Since they arc reproduced by rhizomes they are hardy and require no care. Their 
cane and blade-like foliage which continues green all summer long merits them a 
place wherever a natural setting is desired. Leave in the ground a few years then 
lift and divide for increase of roots. 
IRIS 
Among the spring flowers there is none more stately and impressive than the 
Iris. Practically every color combination known to the flower world is displayed 
in a carefully selected garden of Iris. From pure white through all the delicate 
hues of blue, pink, rose, yellow, bronze, and maroon, they produce a veritable rain¬ 
bow effect and always at a time when other outdoor flowers are very scarce. As a 
cut flower the Iris lasts very well. 
The Iris is practically insect and disease resistant and can always be depended 
upon to produce wonderful blooms, 
CULTIVATION: Iris should be planted in a location of at least partial sunshine 
and so much the better if out of the range of strong winds as their orchid-like- 
florets are very delicate. Any ordinary garden soil will grow good Iris. Do not 
place manure around the bulb or rhizome but manure may be placed on the surface and 
then watered down. 
The plant should be set with the rhizome just below the surface. Since Iris 
make a fast growth and the rhizomes quickly multiply it is best to lift them every 
three or four years and divide the clumps in order that the best flowers may be pro¬ 
duced. Iris may be planted at any "Lime of the year when not in bloom or when the 
ground is not frozen but July, August and September are probably the best months 
for planting. 
The varieties herewith listed have been carefully selected as regards substance 
color and general usefulness. Most of them rate 80 or better according to the 
ratings of the American Iris Society in 1927. They are anong the finest of the 
medium priced varieties and are priced so low that everyone can now afford them.
