Everybody loves Iris and here are the best ones 
Border of Iris germanica 
Hypericum Moserianum 
Hypericum • St. John’s-Wort 
Moserianum. A most desirable border 
plant of free and graceful habit, producing 
long, slender, much-branched stems, leafy 
to the base, and all drooping toward the 
ends, apparently from the weight of the 
flowers and buds, although the flowers 
face, so none of their beauty is lost. Free 
flowering. Large flowers, 2 to 2J4 inches 
in diameter, rich golden yellow. 2 ft. 
Patulum Henryi. One of the newer va¬ 
rieties of St. John’s-Wort. Shrubby in 
habit, growing from 2 to 3 feet high, pro¬ 
ducing masses of large, clear yellow flowers 
during July and August and retaining its 
neat foliage until late in the autumn. 
Patulum grandiflorum. A very vigorous- 
growing introduction from China, with 
large, broad-petaled bright yellow flowers. 
All Hypericums, 30c. each; doz. $3.00 
*lberis • Hardy Candytuft 
The Hardy Candytufts are low-growing 
plants, with evergreen foliage. In spring and 
early summer they are completely covered 
with dense heads of pure white flowers. For 
borders and rockeries they are unsurpassed. 
Sempervirens. Dwarf. Pure white flowers 
in June. Its uniform neat habit makes it 
one of our best rock or edging plants. 
30c each; doz. $3.00; $5.50 for 25. 
Incarviilea • Trumpet Flower 
Fleshy rooted perennials of striking beauty. 
They have coarsely toothed or pinnate leaves 
and showy trumpet-shaped flowers borne in 
terminal racemes. Choice plants for the 
sunny border. Should be well protected with 
leaves during the winter. 
Delavayi. Large, gloxinia-like, rose-colored 
flowers during June and July. 35c. each; 
doz. $3.50.
