Iris Seed 
While we recommend Iris plants to our customers, we can supply seed to those 
who want it. Iris grown from seed will not bloom until the second year. The 
planting of seed, however, enables one to get started with a good assortment of 
colors at a very low cost. Seed in mixture of colors only.

Evergreen Shrubs and Vines 
RHODODENDRONS 
Rhododendrons 
The Rhododendron is, without doubt, the finest and most valuable of all the broad-leaved Ever¬ 
green shrubs. Although most effective when planted in masses, smaller groups and units are 
invaluable for shaded nooks about the house or lawn. 
Our Rhododendrons are nice, select plants, carefully packed with a ball of earth on the roots, 
and are guaranteed to reach you in good growing condition. 
Catawbiense. Very hardy, with attractive foliage of round shining green leaves, glaucous be¬ 
neath, in terminal clusters. The flowers are borne abundantly in large trusses, in shades of 
lavender and purple, appearing early in June. Choice plants, 2 to 3 feet tall, by express, not 
prepaid, at $4.00 each. 
Maximum. Foliage very large and smooth. Blooms in July; flowers of rosy blush and white. 
Very attractive for natural effects along shaded walks and drives, and best for massing. Choice 
plants, 2 to 3 feet tall, by express, not prepaid, at $4.00 each. 
EVERGREEN BITTERSWEET 
(Euonymus Vegetus.) A beautiful thick leaved evergreen shrub or vine. Will grow in either 
shady or sunny location. If planted near 
a wall, they make a low vine, and if planted 
in the open, they grow into a low spreading 
evergreen shrub. They bear bright orange- 
English Ivy red berries in the autumn like the wild Bit¬ 
tersweet, the berries remaining on the plant 
the greater part of the winter. The plants also hold their beautiful green leaves 
all winter. 2-year-old plants, 50c each, postpaid. 
HARDY ENGLISH IVY 
A true evergreen climbing vine which retains its beautiful, broad, glossy, dark 
green leaves all winter. It is perfectly hardy in the open ground, and can be 
grown in the shade, near porches and foundations, where very few other plants 
will grow. It is a most desirable vine wherever a low or medium size vine is 
wanted; much used for cemetery work. It also makes an excellent house plant 
or tub plant for the porch. By pruning it will branch out and can easily be 
trained into fine globe, pyramid, and fan-shaped specimens. Choice pot plants, 
30c each, postpaid. 
MIDGET ROSE ROULETTI 
Just imagine a full grown rose bush small enough to place beneath a 
water glass. The tiny buds are perfectly formed, opening into miniature 
double rose-pink flowers about the size of a dime. May be used as a pot 
plant or grown outside in the rock garden, or for edging around the rose 
garden and flower bed. It is perfectly hardy. Blooms all summer out¬ 
doors and the year around in the house. Strong plants, grown in pots, 
75c each, postpaid.
