LAUREL HILL NURSERIES—STOCKBRIDGE, MASS. 
New Race of Early=Flowering 
HARDY ALPINE IRIS. 
(NEW HYBRIDS.) 
Suitable for edgings, rockwork, etc. Large fragrant flowers for table decoration, small vases and bowls. 
Bloom from March to May; earlier in more southern states. 
This now race of Irises has been evolved and developed from nearly every early 
flowering species obtainable during the last twenty years, in which the raiser, D. J. 
Caparnc, has been engaged in collecting, hybridising and illustrating the genus. 
They are hardy and vigorous in constitution, neat in habit, very free in flowering 
and, at the same time, most suitable for greenhouse and slight forcing treatment. They 
may be grown in small pots or in quantity in shallow pans and boxes. Their flowers, in 
all colon!, are most welcome additions to Winter and Spring flowering plants.
