Hardy Mountain Pink 
Phlox Subulata 
An early spring-flowering type, with pretty 
moss-like evergreen foliage, which, during the 
flowering season, is hidden under the masses of 
bloom. An excellent plant for the rockery, the 
border, and invaluable for carpeting the ground 
for covering graves. Each, 20c; per 12, $1.70. 
Iris 
Perfectly hardy. May be planted in solid rows 
or large groups along the back yard walk, border¬ 
ing shrubbery, in the narrow space along founda¬ 
tions, or they may be planted in the garden. 
Equally valuable on account of the compact 
foliage as well as the beauty of their flowers. 
Modern interest and appreciation accord them 
high honor and garden prominence. For beauti¬ 
ful effects, plant varieties in groups of six of a 
kind. Very hardy and will grow in any soil. 
Large plants furnished. 
In planting Iris remember that they want just 
a slight covering of soil and no water until 
started. Spade deeply but cover lightly. Water¬ 
ing when planting might rot the roots. 
German Iris 
The most wonderful combinations of color can 
be obtained by planting these very hardy 
drought-resisting plants. We furnish large, 
strong divisions. The ‘‘Standards” are the three 
upright petals. The ‘‘Falls" are the petals that 
droop downward.

resented in the different flowers. Blooming in

Japanese Iris belong to the most magnificent 
of our garden flowers. A field of them in bloom 
is a most gorgeous sight. Even a single plant 
growing on the edge of a pool or stream never 
fails to bring forth favorable comment.
