Visitors to our garden invariably stop and 
exclaim over it. It literally covers itself 
in May with 3-in. four-petaled pink blos¬ 
soms when only a few feet high and drapes 
itself gracefully over a porch trellis or 
anything that will support it. Easily kept 
within bounds. 50c.

water, but will also thrive in the sun and 
heat. A few dwarf ones are fine subjects 
for the rockery. They are perfectly hardy 
everywhere.

DWARF IRIS (R)—One of the most bewitch¬ 
ing flowers for the rock garden is the dwarf 
Iris. The colorful brilliance of these little 
gem and jewels is unsurpassed; they are

be without them. Dwarf Iris are still un¬
