HARDY IRIS OR FLEUR DE LIS 
The Iris Show the Most Wonderful Colorings of Any Plant Known 
Except the Orchid 
These Irises are all sun lovers and de¬ 
light in a well drained situation. They 
are all deliciously fragrant, large and 
handsome, more or less beautifully mot¬ 
tled and veined. Their beauty at first 
sight rivals that of the Orchid* but, on 
closer examination, have no hesitation 
in saying they yield points of interest not 
to be found in the whole of the Orchid 
family. Those who have not used these 
Irises for surrounding lakes and ponds, 
or cultivated them in the flower borders, 
shrubberies, woodland walks, and wild 
gardens, should do so. If planted around 
ponds or lakes they should be placed well 
above the water level. 
BLACK PRINCE. This is the very 
darkest colored of all the Iris, and 
claimed by many to be the finest. The 
upright or standing petals are purplish 
lilac, while the drooping petals are deep 
velvet black, making a very striking 
flower. 20c each; 3 for 55c, postpaid. 
CELESTE. Fine satiny lavender 
blue and one of the most beautiful of the 
hardy Iris. The upper petals appear 
delicate grayish blue while the falls are 
a bright Dlue, giving the entire flower a 
lavender effect. 20c each; 3 for 55c, 
postpaid. 
Haines Perfection Iris 
DARIUS. A combination of colors which is hard to beat. 
The uprights are primrose yellow, while the falls are lilac and 
primrose. Many petals come in lemon yellow with purple 
edge. 20c each; 3 for 55c, postpaid. 
HER MAJESTY. An extremely large flower for an Iris. 
Standards or upright petals are a beautiful old rose color; 
falls white striped with rosy lilac. This flower must be seen 
to bo appreciated and should be in every garden. 20c each; 
3 for 55c, postpaid. 
MADAM CHEREAU. One of the most beautiful of its 
class. The flowers are a pure white with a broad and irregu¬ 
lar border of clear blue, and are borne on strong stems which 
are often more than 2 feet in height. 25c each; 3 for 70c, 
postpaid. 
PLUMERI. Deep coppery-bronze. While not as showy 
In striking color combinations as the above sorts, it is really 
one of the finest being nearly the same color throughout. 
Grown alone or with others, it is hard to beat. 20c each; 
3 for 55c, postpaid. 
HAINES PERFECTION IRIS. A splendid assortment 
of over 20 of the best varieties. Many are so scarce that I 
cannot list them separately. Price, 3 for 55c; 6 for $1.05; 
12 for $2.00, postpaid. 
JAPANESE IRIS Iris—Madam Choreau 
These magnificent Iris are among the most beautiful of our summer-flowering plants, and are 
becoming more popular every season. They commence blooming about the middle of June, and 
continue for five or six weeks. Many of the flowers measure from 10 to 12 inches in diameter, 
and rival the Orchids in their rich colorings and markings. For cut flowers they should be cut 
in the bud state, allowing the bloom to expand when placed in water. Price, postpaid, Choic¬ 
est Mixed , all colors, 35c each; $3.50 per doz.
