GERMAN or BEARDED IRIS 
They are not sold during the Spring of the year, as at that time 
(he single rhizomes that were set out in July and August are now 
large clumps with an increase of 4 to 6 small plants on each plant. 
These small plants will make the rhizomes sold singly in the late 
summer. You can readily see that no grower could afford to sell 
you an Iris plant in the Spring of the year, unless he would sell you 
a very small baby-shoot which would not blossom the first season, 
or a whole big clump, which he could not afford to do; the original 
mother rhizome with all the small side increase attached, which 
with a strong growing variety may mean 4 or 6 young plants in 
addition to the large mother bulb (the one that would bloom). 
However, there are three varieties that we grow and that are 
slow in making heavy increase, that we would sell in the Spring, 
provided we would receive a larger price than the regular price for 
them. But you would still be the gainer, for instead of one rhizome 
you will get the whole clump — mother bulb with the increase 
attached: 
APHRODITE. One of the best PINK Iris; no markings and 
sweetly scented. Our regular “summer” price will be 25c for one 
plant. THE SPRING PRICE FOR THE WHOLE CLUMP, 75c, 
postpaid. 
EUPHONY. A lovely copper and yellow blend; heavy bloomer. 
Our regular summer price will be 25c. THIS SPRING'S PRICE 
FOR THE WHOLE CLUMP, 70c, postpaid. 
MRS. VALERIE WEST. A beautiful Iris that we paid at one 
time $25 for one plant. A combination of crimson and bronze; a 
gigantic flower; widely branched stalks 36 in. high. Really a sensa¬ 
tional Iris. Our summer price will be 35c for one plant. THIS 
SPRING’S PRICE FOR THE WHOLE CLUMP, $1.00, postpaid.

IRIS CHRYSOFOR 
By Perry of England 
A new race of early-flowering Irises, producing a profusion of 
dainty flowers during the early spring. Invaluable for cutting pur¬ 
poses, lasting well in water. Masses of grass-like foliage from which 
issue many stout wiry stems bearing several medium-sized flowers 
in shades of white, lavender, sky-blue, rich purple, sulphur yellow 
and bronze. In mixed colors. Cannot supply in selected colors. 
Large plants, 25c each; whole clumps, 40c. 
IRIS SIBERICA 
Spring or Fall Delivery 
The most elegant of all Irises and among the easiest to grow. 
The Siberian Irises have long, tall stems, grassy foliage, and are 
very floriferous. They are among the best for cutting, or for mass¬ 
ing by the waterside. The flowers are various shades of blue with 
white marking; they succeed best in moist sunny situations in rich 
soil. 
PERRY’S BLUE. A wonderful shade of sky blue; 4 ft. The best 
of all. East 25c, plus 10c for postage.. 
ORIENTALIS “EMPEROR”. Deep violet blue. One of the best. 
Price same as Perry’s Blue. 
ORIENTALIS “SNOW QUEEN”. Of snowy whiteness, rich yel¬ 
low blotch. Price same as Perry’s Blue. 
Prices quoted are for good strong divisions of blooming size 
and age. 
PLEASE ADD 10 CENTS POSTAGE TO EACH SIBERIAN 
IRIS ON ACCOUNT OF THEIR HEAVY WEIGHT 
ST. BRIGID ANEMONES 
It is easy to grow St. Brigid Anemones from seed and to flower 
them in about seven months. The general times of sowing are (1) 
February or March to flower the following September or October; 
(2) June or July for producing flowers the following year. The seed 
should always be sown where the plants are to flower, and thinned 
until they stand 6 inches apart. The soil intended for Anemones 
should be deeply dug and a generous supply of well-decayed cow 
manure added. If the soil is heavy some sandy material should be 
added to the top two or three inches to enable you to get a good 
seed bed.—H. C. Morant. 
ROYAL CROWN STRAIN. Extra choice mixed; enormous 
blooms, extra fine double and semi-double flowers borne on long, 
stiff stems with great variety of very rich striking colors. Plant 
three or four inches deep in the spring or fall in good, rich, sandy 
loam. Mulch during the winter in cold climates. Keep grass and 
weeds out of the bed. Beautiful flowers for the Alpine garden. Soak 
the little leather-like looking bulbs in water for 24 hours before 
planting; be careful to plant them right side up (the flate side). If 
you plant them wrong you will be writing us, “My Anemone bulbs 
I bought of you did not grow. What are you going to do about it?” 
We can’t do anything about it. 
One-year-old bulbs that will bloom well, Jumbo size, 75c doz. 
One-year-old bulbs, No. 1 size, that will also bloom, 50c doz. 
TIGRIDIA PAVONIA—GRANDIFLORA 
Tiger Flower or Shell Flower from Mexico 
No flowering bulbs give more richly colored or beautiful flowers. 
Highly recommended for greenhouse decoration. Pot up as soon as 
received and plunge in cold frame, withholding water until the 
foliage appears, then giving it sparingly at first. Bulbs for outdoor 
planting in colder climates should be stored during the winter in soil 
or peat, not quite dry, away from frost until March, and then be 
planted in sunny positions in the flower-border or in beds in sunny 
positions in well-drained soil, the bulbs being surrounded with sand. 
Beds of Tigridias make a gorgeous picture during July, August 
and September and should find a place in all gardens. The flowers 
are formed by three broad petals extending from a central cup. The 
bulb is of about the same habit and hardiness as the Gladiolus. In 
mild climates they can, however, be left undisturbed for years and 
can stand a small amount of frost. 
The Ladies’ Home Journal recently had an illustrated article 
about these attractive flowers from which we quote: 
"This brilliant silken triangle unfolds from its long slender bud 
and bursts into sharply contrasting tints of fire, leaping from bright 
yellow to molten orange and vivid scarlets, and is eagerly sought 
as a rare but sturdy garden novelty.”

EARLHAM'S NEW HYBRID 
MONTBRETIAS 
Again we have worked up a stock of three of these named hybrids 
and offer you sound, field-grown bulbs, but we are not responsible 
if the bulbs fail to do well in your garden. Treat these hybrids more 
like a perennial plant instead of a bulb; they increase by under¬ 
ground stools; they are quite hardy but in cold winter climates must 
be heavily mulched or taken up and stored in moist sand or peat 
moss. Spring planting is best. 
JAMES COEY. Flowers very large and open, of perfect form, 
with smooth broad petals, rich deep vermilion-scarlet with golden- 
orange lustre, center yellow with crimson blotches; very handsome; 
height 3% ft. Per bulb 20c, 3 for 50c; per doz. $1.80. 
UNA. Flowers rich apricot with carmine blotch; a well shaped 
flower; height 2 y 2 ft. Award of Merit. Per bulb 15c, 3 for 40c; per 
doz. $1.50. 
HIS MAJESTY. A glorious variety, flowers measuring 4 in. or 
more across, very broad petaled, deep velvety scarlet, shading down 
to gold, reverse of petals dark crimson shading down to gold; height 
to 4 ft. The largest flowered of all montbretias. First class certifi¬ 
cate. Per bulb 20c; per doz. $2.25. 
BUDDLEIA (The Butterfly Bushes) 
Handsome, hardy, very popular shrubs of easy culture, attain¬ 
ing a height of 4 to 6 feet. Every garden should have several speci¬ 
mens; valuable for cut flowers. 
BUDDLEIA “ILE DE FRANCE”. This new French introduc¬ 
tion will quickly replace the older varieties, it being superior not 
only in its brilliant color, a rosy, violet-purple color; it has longer, 
more graceful spikes of bloom and is symmetrical and uniform in 
habit of growth. The blooming spikes are 6 to 9 inches long and 
very fragrant. We set out a lot of small, well rooted plants less 
than one foot high, in April; by July when they began to bloom 
they were 4 and 5 feet tall, and covered with handsome long bloom¬ 
ing spikes all during August and September. Price of well rooted 
plants that will grow into large bushes by July, 35c each, 3 for $1; 
per doz. $3.50. 
BUDDLEIA “LAVENDER GLORY”. This is of similar habit as 
the above; perhaps somewhat stronger in growth, a little taller, but 
easily kept in bounds. The color is lighter than He de France, a 
lovely clear lavender, long blooming spikes, excellent for cutting. 
We planted these two varieties alternating along a driveway and 
the effect was most beautiful and satisfying, the two shades, the 
light lavender of this and the beautiful dark rosy violet purple of 
lie de France, blending most beautifully. Price same as for lie de 
France. 
BUDDLEIA HARTWEGI. See color plate inside front cover. 
This is undoubtedly the finest of all summer flowering Butterfly 
Bushes. As a summer cut flower plant and as an ornamental lawn 
shrub it is unsurpassed in beauty. Bright lavender flowers, closely 
spaced and most fragrant. It is hardier than any of the summer 
flowering Butterfly bushes, having lived through the severe winter 
of 1935-36 in the East without protection. 
Strong, well rooted plants, which will flower profusely the first 
year, 75c each, 3 for $2.00, postpaid. 
From the fact that BUDDLEIA HARTWEGI will be introduced 
for the first time in 1937, the demand will be very heavy and the 
supply naturally is small; SO GIVE US AN ORDER EARLY. We 
can supply these Buddleias until the first of May, and possibly until 
the 15th, but we advise early plantings so the plants may get a 
good, early start. Light, late spring frosts will not injure the newly 
set-out plants, especially if slightly covered. 
jSSF No plant orders are solicited for less than one dollar, unless TES 
you add 25c extra for handling charges and postage.
