SPANISH IRIS 
Graceful, slender stems, with loose but beautiful 
flowers, the charming colors producing a combina- 
tion not surpassed by an orchid. The finest effects 
are produced when planted in clumps in the per¬ 
ennial border; flowering period May and early 
June. They are also excellent for growing in pots 
indoors or for forcing. 
We have secured a large quantity of northern 
grown bulbs, which, although smaller than the 
California bulbs, are all hard, firm bulbs that will 
give more and larger flowers. 
British Queen. Large pure white. 
Cajanus. Canary'yellow with orangewellow blotch 
King of the Blues. A fine, deep purplish blue. 
Longfellow. Light blue with lighter falls. 
Prince Henry. Large purplish bronze; one of the best.

Price of any of the above varieties: 4 bulbs for 50c; doz., 
$1.00; 100, $6.00. Not less than four bulbs of one variety 
sold. 
Tritoma Hybrids

(The Christmas Rose) 
This interesting hardy plant can be grown in 
any sheltered position. Frost and snow apparently 
have little effect on its blooming, as whenever a 
thaw happens in the early winter, their flowers ap¬ 
pear untouched by ice and snow. 
The color is white, suffused with pink, and if 
sheltered in a glass cold frame they will turn al¬ 
most pure white, on stems from 6 to 12 inches in 
length, flowers from 2 to 3 inches across. Extra 
strong clumps, $1.00 each; $10.00 per doz. De¬ 
livered free in September and October.
