KAEMPFERI (Japanese Iris) 
Are among the most beautiful of the iris 
family. They are very easily grown, but pre- 
fer a moist location and thrive in almost 
any good soil, but do not like lime. It is 
desirable to plant in location with good 
winter drainage. They can be planted from 
early spring until late fall. We find, how- 
ever, that plants from freshly divided 
clumps do not always grow if planted in 
late spring and summer. We therefore sepa- 
rate our clumps in late fall and plant each 
division in a separate container for several 
months before they are offered for sale. By 
this method we are able to supply plants 
that are in perfect growing condition and 
are sure to grow. List follows:

SIBERIAN IRIS 
The Siberian iris grow into quite large 
clumps. They have a fibrous root system and 
can be planted any time from June until 
fall. 
BABET (Nesmith 1937). This delicate new 
creation is most distinctive and attractive. 
Color: lavender-lilac, perfectly set off by 
its delightful yellow haft markings. A real 
NEW BLUE. An outstanding variety which 
we received without a record of the name, 
hence we call it “New Blue.” It is the 
clearest blue of all of the Siberians, being 
much deeper than Perry’s Blue. A good 
grower and a free bloomer. 36”....... 50¢ 
PERRY’S BLUE. Beautiful flowers of light 
lavender blue with white markings on the 
falls, which are almost horizontal. Ideal 
for clump planting on edge of a pool. Stem 
15” to 25”, A. M., R. H.S...35c; 3 for $1.00

water gardens. .35c; 3 for 90c; 10 for $2.50 
STYLOSA. Plants are low growing with 
long grass-like foliage. Flowers lavender 
blue with orange tongue. Delightfully 
fragrant. Begins blooming in September 
on the Pacific Coast and continues 
throughout the winter. 
Unusual for borders, as the grassy ever- 
green foliage is very attractive even when 
no flowers are in bloom. Delivery from

The Salbach Iris Manual 
Deals chiefly with the bearded iris, but gives the essential information 
about the important other types, too. Full cultural directions, a compre- 
hensive chapter on breeding, a discussion of the types and differences 
between the major breeds of iris, and some of the important features. 
Except for the chapter on breeding, which is invaluable to anyone plan- 
ning to make a single iris cross, the book is entirely non-technical, planned 
for the average gardener, and the reasonably new iris enthusiast. 
Price 50 cents, postpaid 
The Newsom Dahlia Manual 
(Revised Edition) 
Complete, year-around directions for the care of dahlias. Practical 
instruction on preparing, planting, fertilizing and storing of dahlias.

Twist Em 
(Plant Ties) 
When you once use “Twist Em,” you'll never want to tie your plants with 
string or raffia again. No need for knots. Place “Twist Em” around your 
plant and stake and simply twist the ends together and the job is done. 
Package of 125—8-inch long, 25 cents 
This year we have set aside special plots which will be planted in Narcissi, 
Dutch Iris and other spring flowering bulbs, also seed specialties. 
These will bloom in early March and April, and will be followed by the 
Bearded Iris and Japanese Iris from mid-April through May and early June. 
Our Gladiolus plantings will be at their best in mid-August. Dahlias from 
August to November. 
You are cordially invited to visit the gardens during the flowering season.
