No Tulips 
No Hyacinths 
As reported in onr Summer Iris folder, we 
doubted If these bulbs, also Crocus, would 
arrive from Holland, where they have been 
grown for us for many years. 
Now we have no hope whatever of delivery. 
Tough luck for our customers, ourselves, and 
still worse for our Holland growers. 
WHAT’S A GOOD SUBSTITUTH? Nothing 
quite alls the bill, but Iris will help a lot. 
More Iris. Better Iris. 
funny thing about Iris. Most people plant 
only one root of a kind. In a few years that 
will produce a ane showing. But why wait 
years when you can get a dazzling display right 
away next spring? 
The way to do this is to plant three or more 
roots of a variety, in a clump, group, colony, 
bed or row. Special directions will be sent 
with orders, telling how to do this. 
few people plant only one Tulip bulb of a 
kind. They buy and plant 6, 10. 25 or more 
of a variety or color. 
Bet’s tninfc of Iris planting in terms of 
Tulips, for a change. And here s where we can 
help a lot. 
Special Prices for 
<<ROW RUN” Iris Roots 
We have a good supply of 44 very good but 
Inexpensive varieties. The special prepaid 
prices below are for these roots taken as they 
run in the rows. 
Not much di&erent from our standard divi¬ 
sions, but specially priced because we need not 
grade so closely as to size and appearance. 
Practically every root will bloom. Hven the 
standard divisions sent out by all growers are 
not sure to bloom the hrst year, though usually 
do. But planted in clumps, groups, beds or 
rows, you get an abundance of blooms anyhow, 
the very hrst year from these "row run” 
roots. 
In fall, Iris roots may be trimmed closely, 
both tops and roots. A closer hair cut is not 
only permissible, but advisable in the fall and 
the long "Russian beard” stringy roots are due 
for drastic trimming. 
first thing I do when planting Iris in the 
fall is to cut these roots back a lot. By doing 
this trimming before packing we save parcel 
post or express costs. Another reason for 
lower prices on “row run” roots.

Hardy, Fragrant Violets 
Here’s one answer to 
that question, “What will 
grow and thrive In the 
shade?” 
These hardy violets 
grow in shade, partial 
shade, or out in the 
open, but do best in par¬ 
tial shade. The plants 
increase in size or num¬ 
ber by sending out short 
runners which take root 
and make new plants around the original one, 
soon forming quite a nice clump. When the 
clumps get too large or too thick they may bo 
taken up, pulled apart and reset. 
The blossoms are of violet color, often deli¬ 
cately fragrant. I sell these violets In clumps. 
Each clump can be easily separated to make 
several dozen plants. Or, you can separate 
the clump into a few smaller clumps for 
quicker results.
