A hardy, EVERBLOOMING ORCHID IRIS, known as Shilka, recently 
from Siberia, is offered free, if you request it when ordering, with every 
order at listed prices amounting to $5.00 or more. 
Says the explorer wiio discovered it: “It blooms continuously for six 
to eight weeks after all other Irises are gone. Its wide, spreading blooms 
possess lovely, delicate tones of superb orchid and blue, mingled with creamy 
white as found in the finest orchids. 
“Long slender stems bear as many as twelve to fifteen superbly beauti¬ 
ful flowers, all at one time, hundreds before the season is over. The flowers 
are delicately fragrant, and many of them are double. The foliage is 
attractive throughout the season. “ 
Price this season, each .50; 3 for $1.00. 
DWARF BEARDED IRISES 
These arc among the earliest Irises to bloom in the garden. They are choice 
subjects for rock garden or border. Blooming in April and early May, they afford 
an early glimpse of the glories of the later, tall bearded Iris season. The rhizomes of 
this group are quite small and should not be allowed to dry out before the plants 
become established. 
10 different varieties, our selection, for $1.00. 
We are now listing a number of the new dwarf bearded irises showing better 
flowers than the older forms. We still have most of the older varieties formerly 
listed, and other new ones, but omitted here for lack of space.
