Chrysanthemums 
About the only way to have plenty of flowers in late fall and early- 
winter is to grow Chrysanthemums. They are easy of culture and the’ 
hardy varieties come before the killing frosts. If it is desired to have 
“Mums” for the holiday, proceed in this way ; Cut the stems when 
the first buds begin to open, strip off the surplus leaves, plunge the 
stems in a container with water and place in cellar or a cool room. 
The plants can also be transplanted in a shallow box with the soil 
kept moist, and all placed in cool room or cellar.

Fragrans All that has been said about fragrance in flowers can 
justly be said of Fragrans. Jt fills the air with such a sweet 
scent that instinctively one desires to locate the source. And 
it is soon found in a lovely and beautiful two toned violet 
colored Iris. If you love fragrance in flowers, Fragrans might 
well be growing in your garden 
Jeanne D’Arc— White, delicately, edged blue. Fragrant. Romantic 
tragedy thrills all through the storv of this young French maid. 
What she accomplished and what she endured marks her as 
one of the world s greatest heroines. She was instrumental in 
winning the battle of Orleans against the English which saved 
France for the French. But later she was captured by the Bur¬ 
gundians and sold to the English for 16,000 francs. After re¬ 
volting cruelties had been practiced on her, even to being crim¬ 
inally assaulted while chained to an English soldier, she was 
tried before an ecclesiastical tribunal on the charge of witch¬ 
craft. On May 30, 1431, she was burned alive in the market¬ 
place at Rouen. In 1456 she was formally declared to have been 
innocent. Her battle banner was of white satin strewn with 
fleurs-de-lis (Iris). Jeanne D’Arc may well be called the patron 
saint of Iris growers . 
Lo ^ eIy ^r? r Luriei - the name of a steep rock on the right bank of 
the Rhine, about 430 feet high, celebrated for its echo, which is 
said to repeat sounds fifteen times. It gives rise to the legend of 
a beautiful but cruel siren who dwelt in a cave of the Lurlei 
and allured the passing voyagers to approach by the magic 
melody of her song until they were wrecked and sunk in the 
nearby whirlpool. The German poet Heine has treated the 
legend in an exquisite manner. S. straw yellow ; F. flaring 
violet-purple, edged yellow. Sweetly scented. ’ .10 
Lord Lambourne The noble Lord will have his name perpetuated 
for many many years among the lovers of beautiful Iris, for 
Lord Lambourne is the name of a favorite Iris found in the best 
gardens. It blooms early and continues in bloom until the Iris 
season is over. Its flowers are well formed, well spaced. The 
stalk is talk Ihe S. are rose-buff; F. rich madder crimson ; 
bright yellow beard ; sweetly scented. A good cut flower .19 
Midgard—A wonderful Iris, being a blend of yellow overlaid 
peach pink. Large size and architecturally perfect. A soft glow¬ 
ing pink effect of great charm and rare beauty. In the Scan¬ 
dinavian mythology Midgard or “Mid earth,” the central gar¬ 
den, or dwelling place, was given to Aske and Embla, the first 
man and woman, which was to be for them a residence. There 
they became the progenitors of the human race. Nearly all 
ancient people had a similar myth ..24 
Monsignor—An ecclesiastical title of dignity bestowed by the 
Pope. A distinct Iris of rich coloring, free flowering and blooms 
very late. S. bluish violet; F. same shade, richly overlaid and 
veined with deep velvety, brownish purple. .10 
Nymph—Unless we have studied deeply into mythology we fail 
to appreciate all that its various features meant to the ancients. 
For example: the Nymphs were in the rush of sea waves, the 
bubble of brooks, the play of sunbeams, the rustle of leaves 
and the various phenomena of nature, largely as an unseen 
joyous power. Nymph is very early, free flowering, deep Em¬ 
pire yellow with a rich golden beard . .29 
Pioneer — I asked Mr. Bonnewitz what Iris he would recommend 
that had a good future. He replied that Pioneer was new and 
would pioneer a new race of rugged, beautiful varieties. I have 
never been sorry I took his advice. This English Iris was sold 
at $35 each only ten years ago. The color is a brilliant red- 
purple . 
Red Cross—Named for ore of the greatest humanitarian organ¬ 
izations, international and non denominational. A yellow toned 
blend, venated a pinkisn maroon. . 14 
Romeo — As long as there are lovers in the world, the story of 
Romeo and Juliet as dramatized by Shakespeare, will be a 
classic. Romeo is a unique Iris with S. citron yellow; F. lilac 
. '.-shaped center. 
Walhalla—According to a Norse Myth, the hall of Odin, the 
-- supreme deity-, into which he receives -the souls of heroes slatn 
in battle. From its 540 gates each morning the warriors go to 
fight and at night they return to feast with the gods, Valkyries, 
being their servitors. Early flowering with large blooms. 
S. pale lavender-blue ; F. bright, velvety violet-purple. 
Zwanenberg—This is the only tall, large flowering Iris to bloom 
early enough to keep company with the Dwarf varieties. The 
large silky cup-shaped standards are creamy yellow, flushed 
and blotched maroon ; F. are rich old gold splashed and striped 
deep purple. Sweetly scented . 14
