“ROCKFORD PEONIES” 
Name Your Own Iris Varieties 
Garden Clubs interested in com¬ 
munity projects of beautification 
may purchase about ten varieties of 
irises including Ambassadeur and 
Lent A. Williamson at $2.00 per 
100 rhizomes. 
If you can use dwarf, May flower¬ 
ing irises, the real early one, we 
offer a limited supply at eight for a 
quarter. 
New iris varieties are obtained 
by planting the seed. We have 
several dozen young plants which 
have never bloomed but are due to 
flower during the coming season. 
We cannot tell what the colors will 
be, but those who may be curious 
as to what the seedlings will yield 
may secure single rhizomes at a 
dime or three for .25. We have 
had some really spectacular results 
with peony seedlings, but nothing of 
merit from iris seedlings. 
See Evergreens Before You Buy 
During the month of June when 
the peonies are in bloom we receive 
literally scores of inquiries about 
EVERGREENS from the visitors to 
our gardens. We have decided to 
dispose of some of this material 
which has been grown purely as a 
hobby. It is impossible to give a 
detailed description of the varieties 
or to even price the specimens in¬ 
dividually. The planting consists al¬ 
most entirely of young plants repre¬ 
senting SPRUCE, JUNIPERS, and 
ARBOR VITAES. Purchasers may 
select the specimens they want, in 
fact we do not care to dispose of 
EVERGREENS unless the purchaser 
personally inspects the planting. 
The assortment includes the fol¬ 
lowing varieties which range up 
from 60 cents each according to size 
and scarcity.
