IRIS CATALOG 
CUT IN JUNE 
Our 1941 price list of mod- 
ern irises will be published 
about the middle of June. In it 
you will find a large number of 
varieties of this glorious flower 
at moderate prices. If you 
haven’t a collection of modern 
irises in your garden you are 
missing one of the greatest joys 
of gardening. 
Iris shipping will begin about 
the middle of July. In the past 
I have begun to dig iris about 
July 1, but I have become con- 
vinced that by that date they 
have not ordinarily matured 
sufficiently to enable them to 
do their best after replanting. 
VIOLA CORNUTA (Tufted Pansy) 
smaller than the annual pansies, but 
are true perennials if planted in full 
sun. Bloom from spring to snowfall 
with us. 
York Gem (Patented) Bright 
medium blue, vigorous grower. 
(a5 
Mixed Shades—Purple, garnet, 
maroon, etc. 29 
VIOLA ODORATA (Sweet Violet) 
These have the lovely violet fra- 
grance. Nothing more delightful for 
Shady places. Prefer woodsy soil. 
Keep away from lime. 
Double English—Withdrawn to 
increase stock. 
Singles, good sized clumps. .25 
Rosina—Dainty rosy-pink flow- 
ers, only a few. 
VIOLA TRICOLOR (Johnny Jump- 
up) Little purple and yellow pansies 
from spring until fall. I don’t know 
whether this is an annual or a short- 
lived perennial, but it reseeds itself 
freely, and once established comes 
along dependably each year. 3 for .25 

“The herbs and iris arrived today in the best of care. 
{ They were we' 
wrapped and look very healthy. Planted them just before the rain this eve 
ning. Will recommend your plants to others.”—Ohio.
