Bulbous Irises 
Dutch Irises. We have about 20 varieties of 
these, that we offer by name or by color. 
They may be obtained in white, various 
shades of blue, yellow and bronze. They 
should be planted in the fall, about 4* deep, 
and given a heavy peatmoss mulch. In¬ 
teresting subjects for tall accents in the rock 
garden, or for the front of borders. 
Per dozen.$0.75 
I. bucharica. R.G. This iris resembles a 
highly varnished miniature cornstalk, with 
cream and yellow blossoms appearing where 
the leaves join the stem. Is a native of 
Bokhara, but is perfectly hardy if planted 
in a slightly protected location, and given a 
heavy mulch. Should be planted in the fall. 
12*. Per bulb.$1.50 
I. reticulata. R.G. The earliest iris to bloom, 
coming with the crocuses. The color is a fine 
rich amethyst, with a yellow dash on each 
petal. Also needs a peatmoss mulch. 4*. 
Per bulb.$0.50 
I. reticulata, var. Cantab. This is a charm¬ 
ing light blue form of the above. We expect 
to have a stock this fall, and will quote 
prices to any interested. 
Peonies 
Our peony collection, numbering over 300 varieties, consists of such of the older introductions 
as rate 85 and better, together with many new varieties, not yet rated. Most of the plants have now 
been in the ground for three years, and should be ready to reward the visitor with glorious masses 
of color. We have several of those fascinating little early species; an exceptionally fine line of the 
singles and Japanese, which, to us, are the most charming of all; and plenty of the big doubles, that 
many prefer to the others. A separate list of the peonies is being prepared, and will be mailed to 
any who are interested. 
Sempervivums 
{Hens and Chickens') 
We like these plants — in fact, they are one of our special pets! We have been gathering them 
in from many sources for several years, and now have about 150 varieties. Descriptions of these 
are not satisfactory, as in many cases the points of difference are too slight to lend themselves to 
words. So we really prefer to sell them direct to visitors. But a price list is ready for those who can¬ 
not see them, but who would like to know what we have. 
Other Rock Plants 
We issue no list of these, as our stock is too fluctuating. 
Cacti and Succulents 
This is our latest specialty, and we would not presume to offer any list of them, as yet! There 
are about 200 varieties, including many very interesting items from Mexico and South America. 
These can be seen at any time during the year, and we like to think that our prices are reasonable*
