HANSEN’S NEW SHILKA IDIG | 
_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 fin- 
est 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. 
Long slender stems bear as many as twelve to fif- 
teen superbly beautiful flowers on each plant, all at one time, hundreds before the 
season is over. 
The flowers of the new Shilka are delicately fragrant, a remarkable attribute to an 
already beautiful flower. Many of the blossoms come double. 
The foliage, like other Irises, is attractive all through the season, in beds or in border 
plantings. 
Everyone who likes Irises should plant this newest and finest, Shilka Iris. 2 yr. 20e 
each; 3 for 45c; 8 for $1.00; 1 yr. 12¢ each; 6 for 50c; 15 for-$1.00 postpaid. 
A Sensational New Rose 
A Rose Without Thorns! Hansen’s Thornless 
Prof. N. E. Hansen is working with thousands of rose seedlings and is attracting na- 


tion wide attention for his efforts toward producing lovely, hardy roses without thorns. 
His Thornless Rose we offer here is really thornless! Not only on the main stems, 
but on the branches as well. The plant is of sturdy upright growth with attractive 
foliage, which makes it desirable as a shrub, and it is perfectly hardy as it will stand 
fifty degrees below zero without protection. 
The flowers are of a delicate pink color and very fragrant. The bright red seed pods 
clinging to the red twigs, against the white snow in winter are very ornamental. 2 yr. 
plants, 32¢ each; 4 for $1.00.
