Everybody loves Iris and here are the best ones 
Hypericum Moserianum Border of Iris germanica 
Hypericum • St. John’s-Wort 
Moserianum. A most desirable border 
plant of free and graceful habit, producing 
long, slender, much-branched stems, leafy 
to the base, and all drooping toward the 
ends, apparently from the weight of the 
flowers and buds, although the flowers 
face, so none of their beauty is lost. Free 
flowering. Large flowers, 2 to 23^ inches 
in diameter, rich golden yellow. 2 ft. 
35c. each; 3 for $1.00; $3.50 per doz.; 
25 for $6.50. 
^Iberis • Hardy Candytuft 
The Hardy Candytufts are low-growing 
plants, with evergreen foliage. In spring and 
early summer they are completely covered 
with dense heads of pure white flowers. For 
borders and rockeries they are unsurpassed. 
Little Gem. A perfect gem of very dwarf 
habit, not over 6 inches high, with masses 
of white flowers in May. A most valuable 
rock-plant. 
Sempervirens. Dwarf. Pure white flowers 
in June. Its uniform neat habit makes it 
one of our best rock or edging plants. 
35c. each; 3 for $1.00; $3.50 per doz.; 25 for $6.50
