Burgess* Choice Iris 
Bearded or German Iris 
The German Iris is one of the most beautiful of hardy garden 
plants. Will grow almost anywhere, in out-of-the-way corners, 
among shrubbery, etc., but for best results plant in a well drained 
sunny situation, barely covering the roots. Avoid fresh manure 
in preparing the bed. They require very little care, and will re¬ 
main in the ground from year to year. 
In the descriptions “S” denotes the stands or upright petals 
and denotes the falls or drooping petals. The figures fol¬ 
lowing descriptions refer to the height of the flowering stem.

Iris in Bloom for Christmas 
IRIS RETICULATA. Often called the “Fragrant Iris.” This unusual 
species is one of the treasures of the Iris family. It grows from a bulb 
and produces flowers quite similar to the other bulbous Iris. The fragrant 
violet-blue flowers remind you of a bunch of fresh violets. When planted 
outside it is the first Iris to bloom in the spring. When conditions are 
right, it often blooms in March. Its main value lies in the fact that it is 
easily grown indoors where it usually blooms about Christmas time. 
When grown indoors, plant 6 or 8 bulbs in a 4 or 5 inch pot. Bulbs are 
planted after September first. Order early and we will make delivery as 
soon as the bulbs are ready. 
Prices: 30c each; 3 for 70c; 6 for $1.25; 12 for $2.00, delivered post¬ 
paid.

regular garden hose nozzle. Applies any and all fer¬ 
tilizers and plant foods to lawns, gardens, trees and 
shrubs. This easy, rapid and safe way of applying fer¬ 
tilizer evenly and properly prevents “burning” because 
no matter what fertilizer you are using, it is applied in 
a stream of water. No dry or full strength fertilizer

washed off and soaked down around the roots. Simple 
to operate. Attach nozzle to garden hose; fertilize and 
sprinkle all at the same time. Satisfaction guaranteed 
when used as directed. Not recommended for applying 
insecticides. Jector Fertilizing Nozzle, complete with 
booklet of instructions, $1.00, postpaid.

shove it along the same as you would a lawn mower. 
So simple and easy to operate that a child can run it.

weste fertilizer, and it does the job quickly and effi¬ 
ciently. Price, 75c, postpaid.
