IRIS—Continued. 
*reticulata Cantab — This form has pale 
blue standards and pale violet-blue falls, 
with a golden orange crest. Culture as 
preceding. 75c each. 
*Sindpers —A beautiful hybrid, with light 
green foliage and flowers of turquoise- 
blue of the best Gentiana farreri and a 
bright golden crest. Blooms with Iris 
reticulata, being of the same height. 
Quite hardy, but should have some pro¬ 
tection or shelter to do its best in the 
open. Light sandy soil, well-drained, with 
lime rubble. 75c and $1.00 each. 
tuberosa —A very odd, exceptionally early 
fragrant species, with apple green flow¬ 
ers having a lip of velvety blackish pur¬ 
ple. 12 in. Tubers best planted in late 
fall or very early spring. 25c each. 
LILIUM —The conditions essential to grow¬ 
ing lilies may be generally summarized 
thus: a cool rooting medium in open, 
porous soil, perfect drainage and shade 
from very hot sun. Delivery made from 
Sept, to Dec. 1st. 
pardalinum giganteum, Sunset Lily —Under 
favorable conditions it attains a height 
of from 7 to 9 fet. The stout stems, 
clothed in luxuriant foliage, hold their 
heads of gorgeous bloom aloft, June to 
Aug. The base of each segment is chrome 
yellow, spotted maroon and the outer 
portions deep scarlet red. Plant at least 
12 inches deep. 25c, 50c, 75c and $1.00 
each. 
OXALIS *adenophylla — Crinkly, grey-green 
leaves among which nestle all through 
the summer huge goblets of lilac-pink, 
darkening to crimson at the base. A 
light, well-drained soil in full sun. Plant 
in autumn, delivery of bulbs being made 
from Sept, to Dec. Dormant bulbs, 25c 
each. Plants in spring, 50c each. 
*bowiei—Bold trifoliate leaves and large 
rose-red flowers all summer and fall, on 
6 inch stems. It is impossible to move 
this species after it has started to grow, 
so order in early fall. Delivery, Sept, to 
Nov. 25c each. 
OXALIS —Perfect drainage is essential if you 
would be successful with these plants. 
*lobatus—A very choice and rare species 
from Chile. The green leaves appear in 
the spring and then die down a few 
weeks later. Then in August up they 
come again with lovely golden yellow 
flowers, on 2 inch stems. The bulbs may 
be planted during late spring or early 
summer, in a warm, well-drained soil, in 
full sun. Stock very limited. $1.25 each. 
This species requires a little protection 
during the winter in very cold weather. 
*magellanica —From Patagonia and reason¬ 
ably hardy. Somewhat invasive but not 
difficult to manage. Bronzy carpets of 
Shamrock leaves, studded with huge 
pearly goblets. 25c each.
