ENGLISH IRIS (IRIS ANGLIC A) 
We are glad to be able to offer a fine selection of 
these beautiful Iris in separate colors for the first 
time. They flower after the Spanish and Dutch vari¬ 
eties have finished and considerably extend the sea¬ 
son. The stems are sturdier and the flowers larger 
than the other bulbous types while the colors are 
especially rich. Given good drainage and planted 6 
inches deep these have proved perfectly hardy with 
us.

King of the Blues. Rich dark blue, 
very lovely .

CAMASSIAS 
Camassias are interesting and very attractive 
hardy bulbous plants from the Western Northern 
American states. They are best planted in the fall 
6 inches deep in any good soil, but avoid fresh 
manures. They enjoy plenty of moisture during the 
growing season, in fact in their native habitats thev 
are often standing in water when in flower, through 
the summer they succeed best if allowed to dry out 
very thoroughly. They add great interest to the 
spring bulbous garden.
