Shilka Orchid Iris 
HANSEN'S NEW SHILKA 
Everblooming ORCHID IRIS 
From the wilds of Siberia, near the town of Shilka, 
comes this new, hardy, Everblooming Orchid Iris, 
which was brought to this country by Carl A. Han- 
sen from one of his world-wide plant exploration ex- 
peditions. 
A real hardy outdoor perennial for the Northwest. 
It blooms continuously for six to eight weeks after 
all other Irises are gone. Its wide, spreading blooms 
possess lovely, delicate tones of superb orchid and 
blue, mingled with creamy white as found in the 
finest orchids. 

With this latest addition to the Iris family, it is now 
possible for everyone to have flowers growing in 
their own gardens, so like the expensive orchids. ces on sith m5]

HANSEN GRASS 
Defies Drouth . . . Green All Summer 
Ohl for a lawn that will stay green, without watering, all 
summer. Yet this is exactly what Hansen Grass will dol 
Even in the driest weather. It has the pagiteet green color 
of any grass I have ever seen and it will keep this color 
throughout the season even through the driest weather, 
whether you water it or not. 

I originally found this gee growing in the wild, in a semi- 
arid region in the heart of cold central East Siberia. Its unique 
beauty and brilliant green first caught my attention because 
it stood out from all the other vegetation which was in a 
rather dried up condition. After closer observation, its dwarf 
nature and fine stems really enthused me, and | decided that 
here was a grass that had real possibilities. 
Not until I had brought this new grass safely back to 
America and had it in my nursery for further tests and propa- 
gation did I realize what a find it really was. Nature had 
given this new grass the inherent qualities for a hardier, finer, 
dwarf growing, drouth resistant lawn covering, all wrapped 
up, as it were, in one small package. 
Since then we have been growing and propagating it as 
rapidly as possible so that others can enjoy it too. 
We only have a few plants available this year but while 
ey last and to those who get their order in early we offer 
them out. 

Place your order now. Plants will be shipped at the proper 
time when ready, alone in a separate package from your

after he had found this new grass.
