This queen of the large flower' 
ing Iris is very effective and flow¬ 
ers later than the German Iris. 
The flowers are of enormous size 
and with single and double varie' 
ties, both being equally attractive 
and suitable for cut flowers. They 
develop into a more perfect 
bloom if cut just before the bud 
opens and placed in the house in 
fresh water. The best time to 
plant these Iris is in the fall, to 
allow them to make new roots 
before winter sets in.

Fall Blooming Crocus 
These Crocus are different from the Spring Blooming 
Dutch Crocus, and bloom during the month of October, 
while their foliage and seed pods as well are produced the 
following spring. They are perfectly hardy and establish 
and multiply easily. 
Zonatus. Rosedilac and a very free bloomer. Another very 
satisfactory variety. This variety may be used for indoor 
blooming. They will bloom dry without soil or water. 
After they are through blooming they may then be plant' 
ed in the garden where they will establish themselves with' 
out effort.55 3.50
