HYPERICUM FRAGILE, (R). Trail¬ 
ing, and good, whether in leaf 
or flower. Bright yellow blos¬ 
soms on 6-inch stems. 15c. 
HYPERICUM MOSERIANUM. Tall¬ 
er than the preceding varieties, 
being sometimes 18 inches in 
height. Spreads rapidly. 20c. 
HYPERICUM POLYPHYLLUM (R). 
Very similar to Hypericum Re¬ 
pens, equally fine foliage. 15c. 
HYPERICUM REPENS, (R). A mul¬ 
titude of slender stems, clothed 
with pretty leaves and termin¬ 
ating in golden yellow flowers, 
makes this one of the most satis¬ 
factory rock garden subjects. 
Evergreen. 6 inches. 10c. 
IBERIS TENOREANA, (R) An im¬ 
proved perennial candytuft, com¬ 
pletely smothered with rose la¬ 
vender flowers about Decoration 
Day. Evergreen. 9 inches. Will 
do best if planted early. 15c. 
IBERIS SEMPERVIRENS, (R). A 
shrubby little evergreen, whose 
flowers make it a veritable snow¬ 
drift in spring. 1 foot. 15c. 
INCARVILLEA DELAVAYI. Some¬ 
times called the Hardy Gloxinia, 
for its trumpeted flowers of rich 
rose resemble that flower some¬ 
what. Too, the foliage is un¬ 
usually handsome. Not a rock 
subject, but an extra fine per¬ 
ennial for early summer bloom. 
25c. 
IRIS PUMILLA, (R). The or¬ 
dinary purple sort is fine, but 
give your garden a treat with 
some of these far less common 
kinds—yes, they are just as 
dwarf and just as early. 
Prairie Gem. Light, clear yel¬ 
low. 10c. 
Stuart A. Hybridia. A more 
pronounced yellow. 10c. 
The Bride. Pure white. 10c. 
IRIS, Siberian—Pygmy, (R). How 
fortunate we are to have this 
dwarf form of a universal favor¬ 
ite, for “Pygmy” is ideal for 
rockery, or fronting the peren¬ 
nial border. The color? Dark 
violet. Light shade. 15c. 
IRIS STYLOSA (Algerian Iris), (R). 
It’s hard to believe that this 
iris presents its lovely lavender- 
blue blossoms in mid-winter. 
But it does and they are fra¬ 
grant, too. A light, perfectly 
drained soil and sheltered, sun¬ 
ny position spell success. Grassy 
foliage, flowers 6 to 12 inches. 
20c. 
IRIS GERMANICA 
No other hardy plant is getting quite so much attention nowadays as 
the Iris, and if you have seen an Iris-bordered path in June, flaunting its 
regal purple and delicate lavender and rich bronze in the spring sunshine, or 
have had the privilege of viewing a collection which included some of the 
magnificent new introductions from France and England, and our own 
American originations, you will admit there is ample reason. 
Irises increase rapidly and soon form handsome clumps. They are trans¬ 
planted in early spring or early fall with equal certainty of thriving in their 
new locations, but fall planting gives greater assurance of flowers the first 
season. The roots should not be set too deep—a couple of inches of soil to 
cover is sufficient. They require good drainage and prefer full sunshine. 
Manure is particularly distasteful to them and often fatal, but bone-meal and 
air-slacked lime are excellent. June is the month of most prolific bloom. 
AFTERGLOW. Grayish lavender 
merging into soft yellow. Much 
admired. A generous increaser. 
25c. 
ALCAZAR. Standards light blue vio¬ 
let, falls rich purple. 25c. 
AMBASSADEUR. Standards smoky 
lilac—falls deep purple maroon 
of velvety texture. Massive flow¬ 
ers. 25c. 
ARCHEVEQUE. Velvety violet pur¬ 
ple, distinctive in any collection. 
25c. 
B. Y. MORRISON. Standards la¬ 
vender, falls purple bordered la¬ 
vender. 25c. 
CATERINA. Huge flowers of soft, 
silvery lavender on very tail 
stems. Delicious fragrance. Mul¬ 
tiplies slowly. 25c.
