to the same iris, and in buying from other growers in 
the! United States we have found that a great many iris 
similar in coloring, form and petals are carried by the 
same name. 
These that we list this year are among the best that 
we have found and have proved to be our very best sell¬ 
ers.

Unnamed Varieties. We have quite a number of unnamed 
varieties that we have lost the markers on, owing to 
the cultivator having pulled the stakes out as it went 
by and our being unable to distinguish among the 
varieties later. These we sell at half price and we 
consider they are a remarkable buy at that figure. 
CHERRY HILL ROYAL PERENNIALS 
The perennial garden of today is planted along far dif¬ 
ferent lines than in years gone by, owing to the fact that 
a great many perennials of high quality have been intro¬ 
duced from year to year, so that the choice of varieties 
at the disposal of the planter is far greater than ever be¬ 
fore. 
Cover your roses with a paper cornucopia, or an old bas¬ 
ket, for a few days after planting.
