IRIS TENAX—erczhl6. A remarkably graceful 
and pleasing Iris, and very good for cutting, as 
well as for the rockery. Flowers vary from lav¬ 
ender and purple to white, mauve-pink and claret. 
Free flowering and long blooming. Pkt. 15c; spec, 
pkg. 35c; % oz. 75c; 1 oz. $2.50.

bulbous Iris with almond-scented flowers, white 
with blue spots, or slate-gray. Pkt. 25c. 
IRIS VERSICOLOR—ecbmhz36. Resembles I. 
pseudacorus except in coloring, and like it, will 
thrive in either wet or dry places. Typically fine 
blue-violet, marked creamy yellow, but may vary 
from slate blue to rich red. Pkt. 10c; *4 oz. 50c; 
1 oz. $1.75. 
I. VERSICOLOR CLARET CUP—Deep glowing 
wine red. Very beautiful. Pkt. 25c.

bright yellow with brown lines. Likes fairly 
moist soil. Pkt. 25c; spec. pkg. 60c. 
IRIS WILSONI HYBRIDS—Saved chiefly from 
Wilsoni-Clarkei crossings, and gives many inter¬ 
esting color variations. Pkt. 20c. 
IRIS XIPHIOIDES—ENGLISH IRIS—cbmzy24. 
Showiest, and probably hardiest, of the true bulb¬ 
ous Irises, but likes cool and fairly moist soil. 
It is well to use a ground cover plant in the bed, 
or to mulch between the Irises with straw. Mag¬ 
nificent flowers like great orchids, in sapphire, 
lavender, lilac, smoky rose, tawny purple and vio¬ 
let crimson, with others flaked and striped. Pkt. 
10c; spec. pkg. 25c; ^ oz. 40c; 1 oz. $1.50. 
OFFER 48C5—One pkt. each of the 68 different 
Irises for $11.50. 
IRIS AVALON BLEND 
Seeds of all the Irises that I stock are con¬ 
tained in this superb mixture, not, of course, in 
equal proportion, for some kinds are too rare and 
costly, but at least a little of each, and much of 
many, to produce a balance of color and form 
that cannot, I believe, be excelled. Here is the 
opportunity to secure fine Irises in quantity. Spe¬ 
cial large pkg. 20c; *4 oz. 60c; 1 oz. $2.00. 
XEROPHYLLUM ASPHODELOIDES 
The stately shafts, topped each with a myriad 
close-clustered ivory stars, rise in June from pro¬ 
fuse grass-like tufts. Makes a glorious cut-flower 
and remains long in bloom. Delicately fragrant. 
Likes dampish sandy soil, but will grow, never¬ 
theless, in ordinary garden loam. Hardy and per¬ 
ennial, but a lime-hater. cbmatstzy50. Pkt. 20c; 
spec. pkg. 50c.
