RARE AND BEAUTIFUL

If you are an Iris fancier, you know the joy of growing these 
lovely flowers and the thrill that accompanies the first sight of 
the newly opened flowers of your latest acquisitions. If you have 
not grown the newer varieties, plant some this season and you will 
most likely become a regular Iris “Fan”. 
There is no other group of flowers that combines as many 
lovely colorings, and varied perfumes, with flowers of such charm¬ 
ing form. They really rival orchids in beauty and yet are among 
the easiest flowers to grow. 
For cut flowers and for landscape effects Iris are indispen¬ 
sable in the garden.

to describe. The glorious coloring is a blend of pale buff with

soft lavender-blue suffused buff and edged silvery brown. The 
flowers are large and bold, stalks medium tall, well branched, 
set with many buds. 4 feet. Each, 75c; 3 for $2.00. 
PLURABELLE. An enchanting Iris of rare and distinct coloring. Standards 
pure golden yellow, falls exquisitely blended gold and pinkish 
mauve. The elegant flowers are borne on graceful branching 
y stems, many buds opening at one time. A jewel in the garden.

the iridescence of pigeons throat"—a wonderfully beautiful ef¬ 
fect of soft rosy heliotrope, greyish amber and orange. 3 ft.
