Gandavensis. White Lady. A new variety from Germany that is said 
to be superior to any other white. The flowers are large, of finest 
substance and of the purest white imaginable, thelower petals are 
slightly tinged with pale yellow; this pale yellow is so delicate and 
so clear that it does not impair the white of the flower in the least, 
on the contrary it enhances upon the white. The buds are light 
yellow before opening. The plants are of a remarkably strong 
growth and will generally produce several flower-spikes. Height, 
2 Yz to 3 f eet when in full bloom. Strong bulbs, $2.00 each. 
Snow White. Nearly the entire spike of this variety is a perfect 
paper white with a slight cream shade on lower end of petals. Each,

\nr\nJt f*^ BS# i °, Ur this . exquisite plant is very choice. The bulbs should be potted in the 
spring in light sandy loam, and they will commence growing and blooming at once. In the fall, dry them and 
store in a warm place through winter. Strong, flowering bulbs, mixed colors, per bulb, 15 cts.; $1.75 per doz. 
HEUCHERA SANGUINEA. One of the handsomest hardy peren¬ 
nials of recent introduction. The flowers are of a rich crimson 
color, the leaves light-green. The graceful flowers on long spikes 
form splendid material for bouquets. Roots, 15 cts. each ; $1.50 per 
doz. Seed, per pkt., 10 cts. 
HYACINl HUS CANDICANS. Perfectly hardy. Grows to a 
height of three feet and bears an abundance of pure-white, bell¬ 
shaped flowers. Each, 10 cts. ; per doz., 75 cts. 
IRIS KAEMPFERI. When these are in bloom nothing in the garden 
is grander. The name “Poor Man’s Orchids”has been suggest¬ 
ed for them on account of their ease of culture and great beauty. 
Think of a plant sending up to a height of 3 feet a dozen flower 
spikes, each spike bearing from two to four enormous blossoms 
8 to 10 inches across, and of the most delicate and beautiful 
colors, markings, and combinations. The Kaempferi is this 
and much more, for with all its beauty it is perfectly hardy. 
Choice named varieties, $2.50 per doz. Double and single 
mixed, $175. 
IRIS. GERMANICA. The German Iris bloom earlier than 
the Kaempferi, they embrace many charming combina¬ 
tions of colors, and are very fragrant. Choice named 
varieties, $1.50 per doz. Fine mixture, $1.00 per doz. 
IPOM/EA NOCTIFLORA. Moonflower or Evening Glory.

flowers that open in the evening, or earlier on cloudy 
days. They bloom from June until frost. 15 cts. each ;
