Japanese Irises 
Foliage tall, narrow and blade-like; stems slender and grace¬ 
ful, with several buds to the stem; large flat flowers, usually 
with a gold blotch. Plant in full sun. Any good mellow loam 
that does not become excessively dry will give good results. Nat¬ 
uralized along a stream or pool where their beauty is reflected 
in the mirror below they are very effective. Water must not 
stand on their roots, especially during winter. The six-petal- 
ed are termed double, the three-petaled, single. 
White blotched gold. Early, double. 25c each, 3 for 70c, 
$2.50 per doz. 
For the foundations, remember always—height in the corn¬ 
ers, immediately in front of pillars, and at the bare wall spaces. 
Under the windows, low or medium plants only. Evergreens 
are beautiful winter and summer. 
Strawberries in the Home Garden 
Strawberries are so easily grown that there is no reason why 
every family should not enjoy all that richness of flavor which 
is attained only when fully ripened on the vine and served fresh. 
Any soil that will grow good corn or potatoes will grow good 
strawberries. Plenty of humus or well rotted vegetable matter 
in the soil will help retain moisture during dry weather. Well 
rotted manure worked into the soil will provide both humus and 
fertility, and give you more, larger and better berries. Straw¬ 
berries planted this spring will give a full crop next spring. Mas- 
tadon will give a crop the first summer. For varieties and prices 
see page 32.
