Japanese Iris Gold Bound 
JAPANESE IRIS—MIXED 
This is not just a mixture of discarded sorts. A 
few years ago a hybridizer, specializing in Iris, sold 
us his surplus of unnamed seedlings, many so dis¬ 
tinctively beautiful as to be well worth offering 
separately. To those we added a few good varieties, 
the labels of which had become lost in our nursery. 
We are here offering you this truly superb combina¬ 
tion of the finest blood in the Iris family. Each 15c., 
doz. $1.50, 100 $10.00.

rivals in size, color range, and beauty. From palest 
azure to deepest indigo-purple, no shade of blue is 
omitted. They leave nothing to be desired by the 
most critical flower lover, for they have come as 
close to sheer perfection as have any perennials.
