Iris Kaempferi 
THE NEW HARDY GEUMS 
Fine, hardy, handsome plants for foreground 
planting in the hardy garden. Worth-while 
for their lusty strawberry-like foliage alone.

the old-type Geums. Large, double, bril- 
liant orange-scarlet blossoms freely borne 
on 2-foot stems. Good plant. 3 for $1.10, 
$4.00 per doz., 40 cts. each.

plant and flower as Fire Opal, but orange- 
yellow. 3 for $1.10, $4.00 per doz., 40 cts. 
each.

red blossoms over a long period. 3 for

its color effect. August, September. Fine 
3 to 314-foot plant. 3 for $1.10, $4.00 per 
doz., 40 cts. each.

soms, rich golden yellow. Makes a long-

Bearded Iris 
IRIS KAEMPFERI 
$1.40 for 3 of one kind, $5.00 
per doz., 50 cts. each 
The tall, blade-like foliage alone is of real 
decorative value, and the orchid-like flowers 
appear in late June, after all other Iris have 
passed. Cut in the bud stage, the flowers open 
perfectly and keep well. A rich, moist loca- 
tion is best, but average garden conditions 
will suit this Iris. 
CATHERINE PARRY. Double. Blue, over- 
laid rosy-red. 
ELEANOR PARRY. Double. Claret-red 
veined white and blue. 
FASCINATION. Large, double, blue flower, 
lightly veined white and tinged with pink. 
GOLD BOUND. Double. Pure white, 
creamy glow with gold-banded center. 
PURPLE AND GOLD. Double. Rich violet- 
purple, gold center; enormous flowers. 
RED RIDING HOOD. A showy amaranth, 
veined and suffused white.

LILY-OF-THE-VALLEY 
(Convallaria) 
There is a shady corner in every garden just 
the place for this grand old favorite, becom- 
ing scarce because all importations are dis- 
continued, but we offer as always our own 
home-grown superior strain.
