HELLEBORUS NIGER 
(The Christmas Rose) 
This interesting hardy plant can be grown 
in any sheltered position. Frost and snow 
apparently have little effect on its blooming, 
as whenever a thaw happens in the early win¬ 
ter, their flowers appear untouched by ice and 
snow. 
The color is white, suffused with pink, and 
if sheltered in a glass cold frame they will turn 
almost pure white, on stems from 6 to 12 
inches in length, flowers from 2 to 3 inches 
across. Extra strong clumps, $1.00 each; 
$10.00 per doz. Delivered free in September 
and October.

Iris. The flowers are of enormous size and it 
has the advantage of coming into bloom two 
weeks earlier than the Spanish. 
Bloemaard. Very early dark blue. A valuable 
forcer.

low bicolor. Excellent forcer.

per doz.; $9.00 per 100. October delivery. 
SPANISH IRIS 
Graceful, slender stems, with loose but beau¬ 
tiful flowers, the charming colors producing 
a combination not surpassed by an orchid. 
The finest effects are produced when planted 
in clumps in the perennial border; flowering 
period May and early June. They are also 
excellent for growing in pots indoors or for 
forcing. 
We have secured a large quantity of north¬ 
ern grown bulbs, which, although smaller than 
the California bulbs, are all hard, firm bulbs 
that will give more and larger flowers.

blotch. 
King of the Blues. A fine, deep purplish blue.

four bulbs of one variety sold.

of June. As a cut flower it is invaluable. The 
bulbs may be planted outside with a winter 
mulching.
