Mixture —(D) 
We have hundreds of mixed German Iris, of good varieties. 
Unlike many standard perennials, mixed plantings of Iris are 
seldom inharmonious, and if you want quantities for field 
plantings, these are ideal. 
Siberian (D) White—spiky foliage, disease free, profusely 
blooming iris, coming on just after the German Iris have had 
their sumptuous hour. Glistening white with yellow throat. 
Blue—As above, but the color is a clear solid 
blue. 
LATHYRUS ( Perennial Sweet pea). 
Latifolia (pink) (E) A robust perennial with biggish ra¬ 
cemes of rosy, pea blossomed shaped flowers. The name is 
quite truthful if you omit the “sweet”. 
Latifolia (blue) (E) As above, but the flowers are a pallid 
blue. Both are June flowering and suitable for the border. 
LEONTOPODIUM ( Edelweiss ). 
Alpinum (E) Haling from the European mountains, this 
dwarf (4 in.) will bespeak your sagacity among your rocks. 
Silvery white leaves headed by a starry white crown. 
“The prophetic eye of taste sees all the beauties that a place is 
susceptible of, long before they are born; and when it plants a 
seedling, already sits under the shadow of it.” Gray. 
LIATRIS ( Blazing Star) (C) 
Pyconostachya ( Kansas Gay Feather) Bizarre perennials, with 
tall spikes of a trying purple. Should be isolated against 
neutral backgrounds, and grown in groups. Bees torment them 
hourly. 
LILY OF THE VALLEY—See Convallaria.
