and planned so as to give you a complete color 
range. There will be giant singles and doubles 
mottled, striped, blended and solid colors, soft pastel 
tones and intensely brilliant colors. 
8 Corgeous Japanese Iris, All Differ- $ ft f\f\ 
ent, Each Separately Labelled for »X,V/L/ 
U NIQUE among their kind, in form and color, and most gorgeous of all the great 
Iris family, the Japanese Iris bring new splendour and richer harmony to 
any and every garden where they are planted. 
Some of the varieties listed below are now offered for the first time in a mod¬ 
erately priced collection. My supply has not previously been sufficient to warrant 
such price reduction. Many of the blooms are as large as dinner plates. Every 
variety is notable, of superb quality, and magnificent color. 
Any one can grow Japanese Iris successfully by following my simple cultural 
directions, which accompany all shipments. You may make your selections after a 
careful reading of the descriptions of varieties; but if you wish me to make them 
for you, I will spare no pains to make your collection satisfactory and delightful. 
On this distinguished group of Japanese Iris, listed on this page, I am mak¬ 
ing a uniform price of 35c each; $3.75 a dozen; or 100 for $25.00—your selec¬ 
tion of varieties. Planting and Cultural Directions Accompany All Shipments.

tration.
