THE JAPANESE IRISES 
These unfold their regal flowers, often 8 to 10 in¬ 
ches across, in July. They range through delicate la¬ 
venders to richest purple, some are pure white marked 
with gold, others are daintily veined with contrasting 
color. They must have good drainage and sun. 
We offer only in high-class mixture as yet; some of 
the flowers with three petals, others with six, but all 
attractive in the extreme. 15c. 
MISCELLANEOUS IRISES 
AUREA, An especially effective sort for use in the 
border. Does best in rather heavy soil. Large pure 
yellow flowers. 25c. 
IRIS BULLEYANA, Like a glorified Siberian Iris. The 
flowers are much larger, borne well above the foli¬ 
age, and of rich blue or purple. Excellent for pool 
planting though not in the water. 25c. 
IRIS CRISTATA, (R) This graceful miniature iris 
should be established in a position with afternoon 
shade, and rather light soil. Increases fast and 
bears delicate lavender flowers in abundance. Very 
much at home in the rock garden. 25c. 
IRIS CRISTATA ALBA, (R) Even lovelier than the 
preceding. Leaf mould and partial shade bring it 
to perfection. One of the rarest rock irises. $1.00. 
IRIS FOLIOSO, Suited to semi-shaded position, per¬ 
haps at the edge of woods, and where there is am¬ 
ple moisture. Foliage not particularly good, but 
the flowers are exquisite in their delicacy of form 
and color. A clear pale blue is predominant. 50c. 
IRIS FORRESTII, (R) Graceful flowers of clear, pale 
yellow, narrow, rush-like foliage. Fine for the rock 
garden. This iris likes full sun and grows 16 inches 
ta H R are 5Q C 
IRIS HOOKERI, Blue flowers. 18 inches. 50c.

dens or bordering taller irises. 10c.

particular. Dwarf. Most unusual flowers of green¬
