Regelio-Cyclus Iris 
A new race of hardy, free-flowering hybrids of great 
beauty and of easy culture. Many named hybrids have 
been raised, having the most beautiful and artistic colors 
—bronzy shades of old-gold, mahogany and brown, velvety 
crimson, purple, blue and white. 
I offer single specimens at Si.75 each; or a collection of 
ten distinct named varieties for Si2; or live distinct named 
varieties for S6. Mixture, unnamed, 50 cts. each, S5 per 
doz. 
Dutch Iris 
An entirely new race of Xiphion Irises, best described 
as a giant strain of very early-flowering Iris Hispanica, 
with flowers of enormous size and remarkable substance, 
in many shades of blue, white and yellow blooming fully 
a fortnight earlier than the Spanish Iris. Should have some 
protection from frost in cold climates. 
A Collection of Ten Distinct Named Varieties, including 
many colors and shades, Si.50; for two collections S2.50; 
five collections for S5. Single bulbs (my selection) 20 cts. 
each. 
Mixed Varieties, 10 cts. each, Si per doz., S7.50 per 100. 
HARDY LILIES 
With the exception of Lilium candidum, which seems to 
prefer an open position, most Lilies thrive best when 
planted in a semi-shaded situation, where the ground can 
be kept cool and moist by the protection of shrubs and a 
carpet of lawn grass. Planted among shallow-rooting 
perennials or rhododendrons, they find a congenial situa¬ 
tion both as to soil and shelter. The bulbs should be planted 
from 6 to 8 inches deep, with a little sand or sphagnum 
moss under the base of each bulb. I do not keep these 
bulbs in stock, and they will be imported only to supply 
orders received before August 15. 
Brownii. Large trumpet, the inside pure white, the outside 
shaded chocolate-brown. 75 cts. each, $7.50 per doz. 
Candidum (Madonna Lily). Pure white. Should be 
planted early for the best results. Extra-size bulbs, 
15 cts. each, Si.50 per doz., Sio per 100.

base and tips with purple. 35 cts. each, S3.50 per doz. 
Excelsum (Testaceum). Nankeen-yellow, sometimes

every garden. 50 cts. each, S5 per doz.
