iris 
German Iris — In different colors. 
Japan Iris (Kaempferi)—Flowers different from any other Iris, resembling a lily somewhat 
and produced on stalks 3 to 4 feet high. Flowers very large, some varieties being 6 or 8 
inches across. They bloom in July later than the other varieties of Iris, and give a 
wonderful variety of shades; mostly very rich and velvety. We grow a number of 
the very best and can furnish them in sky blue, dark mottled blue, deep blue, lavender, 
reddish purple and various shades of rich velvety purple. 
PHLOX 
Wc grow a dozen or more of the best varieties of Hardy Perennial Phlox, and as Champ’s 
Elysee, Jeanne D’Arc, Eclaireur, Pantheon, etc. 
Besides the above hardy perennials we grow many more which we have room here 
only to mention such as Achillea, Aquilegia, Coreopsis, Delphinium, Digitalis, Eulalia, 
Funkia, Gaillardia, Hibiscus, Golden Glow, Spirea, Yucca and others. 
BULBS AND TUBERS TO BE PLANTED IN THE SPRING 
Cannas— Best French cannas; different colors: Flamingo, Austria, Alsace, Florences 
Vaughn, Madame Crozy, etc. 
Caladium — Elephants Ear. Large bulbs. 
Dahlias— The Dahlia is the grandest autumn flower we have. Nothing is its equal in 
any respect in September and October. It is in its glory when everything else is faded 
or fading, and surrenders only to the Frost King. Put Dahlia tubers in the ground 
when the season becomes warm, covering the neck some three inches. If many 
shoots start, thin them out. After flowering, and before hard frosts, take up the 
plants, remove the tops, dry the bulbs a little, and put in the cellar until spring, when 
they can be divided and replanted. Look at them occasionally to see that they are 
not shriveling from too dry an atmosphere, nor starting the eye early in consequence 
of too much moisture and warmth. We grow thirty or more varieties of dahlias and 
can furnish all colors and types. Among our varieties are: Florodora, Kremhilde, 
C. W. Burton, Lonsdale, Menheiddy Beauty, etc. etc. For several years past our 
dahlias have attracted a great deal of attention when in bloom and at our county fair. 
Gladiolus —These are among the most showy and brilliant of all bulbous plants. Nature 
is nowhere more lavish of her paint than upon the flowers of the Gladiolus. Separate 
colors or mixed. 
Tuberose— Pearl —Its value over the common variety consists in its flowers being nearly 
double in size; imbricated like a rose, and its dwarf habit, growing only 18 inches to 2 
feet. The fragrance and color same as common sort.
