Herbaceous Plants 
Iris 
Iris germanica German Iris or Flag. The German 
Iris is one of our most desirable early spring-bloom¬ 
ing plants. It is a vigorous grower and is of easy 
cultivation. Flowers are large and conspicuous. The 
colors are white, blue, purple, yellow, and variously 
ve ; ned and striped. Every garden should contain a 
collection of these Flags. Ten distinct named varie¬ 
ties. 
PRICES: Strong root3, 15 cents each; $1.25 for 10; 
$10.00 per 100. 
Iris lasvigatta. (I. Kaempferi) . Japanese Iris. These 
handsome spring-blooming plants are becoming popu¬ 
lar. They begin blooming about the middle of April 
and continue in bloom for five or six weeks. Many 
of the blooms have a diameter of from 8 to 12 inches, 
and are of various colors—white, purple, violet, 
mauve, magenta, variously marked and penciled. They 
are invaluable in herbaceous plantings; are extremely 
hardy and easily cultivated. Most effective where 
planted alone the borders of ponds or streams. If 
the flower-stalks are cut just as the buds are ex- 
Deciduous Trees 
The intelligent tree planter readily appreciates the difference in value between a tree dug in the forest and 
one taken from our nursery where it has received proper care during the first years of its life. The one is 
tall, slender and with only a small top: the other is sturdy, with well-developed trunk and a top that is a promise 
of its future beauty and usefulness as a shade tree. All of our trees have been transplanted several times and 
plenty of room for development allowed in the row. The root-system is perfect, and, when our nursery-grown 
trees are properly set and pruned, there should be no loss. 
Directions for Plant'.ng and Pruning. Before setting out, cut off the broken or bruised roots, should there 
be any. Trees with branching heads should have the smaller branches cut out, and the larger branches cut back 
to within three or four buds of their base; but, when a tree has an abundance of roots, an& small top, and 
few branches, then the pruning need not be so severe. However, when the roots are small and the top heavy, 
then prune the tree severely. In many cases remove every lateral limb, preserving only the leader, and this, if 
too long, may be cut back to the proper height. Frequently large trees are transplanted without pruning. This 
neglect will often cause the tree to die. Dig the hole intended for the tree of ample size, so when the young 
roots start out they will have soft ground in which to grow. The best fertilizer is well-rotted stable manure, 
thoroughly mixed with the soil. 
Plant about two inches deeper than the tree originally stood in the nursery row, using the top soil for fill¬ 
ing in around the roots. See that ev^rv interstice around the roots is thoroughy filled, and that every root is 
over the circumference of the hole. Keep free from grass and weeds, and loosen up the soil occasionally! 
brought into contact with the soil. When the hole is nearly filled, pour in a bucket of water, so as to set the 
soil around the roots, then fill in the balance of the hole and press the dirt gently with the foot. When the tree 
is planted, mulch with five to six inches of well-decomno* ed stable manure, or rotted leaves: this should extend

panding, and taken indoors, the flowers will last a 
long time, and as one flower fades another bud will 
open until all have shown their beautiful colors. With 
proper attention, this Iris will give a wealth of bloom 
and color. Twelve of the best named sorts. 
PRICES: 25 cents each; $2.00 for 10; $17.50 per 100. 
Peonies 
Peonies, herbaceous. The varieties we offer have been 
thoroughly tested in this locality and have given 
most satisfactory results. We offer twelve to fifteen 
best sorts, double and single, white and several 
shades of pink, rose and red. Peonies do best in 
rich, rather moist, loamy soil, and if plants are pro¬ 
tected from the hot afternoon sun, they will give 
excellent results. They should have a liberal supply 
of water at all times, especially when in bloom during 
April and May. Fertilize well with cow manure. 
Keep the ground well cultivated. If these few simple 
directions are carried out, the result will be most 
satisfactory. Plant during fall. 
PRICES: 40 cents each: $3.50 for 10: $30.00 per 100.
