is one of our most desirable early spring-blooming 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 veined and striped. Every 
garden should contain a collection of these Flags. We offer

I. Kempferi (Japanese Iris). These handsome spring-bloom¬ 
ing plants are becoming popular. 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 <S 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 along 
borderof pond or stream where the colors are affected. With 
proper attention the Iris will give a wealth of bloom and 
color. We offer twelve of the best-named sorts, 25 cts. 
each, $2 for 10, $17.50 per 100. 
Herbaceous 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, deep, rather moist loamy soil, 
and, if plants are protected 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, as they are heavy 
feeders. Keep the ground w f ell cultivated. If these few 
simple directions are carried out, the result will be most 
satisfactory. Plant during fall. 25 cts. each, $2 for 10, $17.50 
per 100.
