Iris 
IRIS Germanica. German Iris or Flag. The German 
Iris is one of our most desirable early spring-blooming 
plants. It is a vigorous grower and is of easy cultiva¬ 
tion. Flowers are large and conspicuous. The colors 
are white, blue, purple, yellow, and variously veined 
and striped. Every garden should contain a collec¬ 
tion of these Flags. Ten distinct named varieties. 
Strong roots, 15 cents each; $1.25 for 10; 
$10.00 per 100. 
IRIS Kaempferi. Japanese Iris. These handsome 
spring-blooming plants are becoming popular. They 
begin blooming about the middle of April and con- 
30 
tinue 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 in¬ 
valuable in herbaceous plantings, are extremely hardy 
and easily cultivated. Most effective where planted 
along the borders of ponds or streams. If the flow¬ 
er-stalks are cut just as the buds are expanding, and 
taken indoors, the flowers will last a long time, for 
as one flower fades another bud will open until all 
have shown their beautiful colors. With proper at¬ 
tention, this Iris will give a wealth of bloom and 
color. Twelve of the best named sorts. 
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 ex¬ 
cellent results. They should have a liberal supply 
of water at all times, especially when in bloom dur¬ 
ing 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. 
40 cents each; $3.50 for 10; $30.00 per 100.
