English Iris (Bulbous) 
For Outdoor Planting Only—Mixed Colors 
Although called English Iris, this lovely bulb- 
ous Iris originally came from the alpine meadows 
of the Pyrenees. In the sixteenth century it made 
itself at home in England, hence its name. It is 
extremely hardy and loves a cool, moist soil. 
The English Iris have been almost non-existent 
in the United States, and could not be imported. 
Fortunately, we located a farm in Michigan where 
these Iris can be grown to perfection. Price: 
$1.00 per doz.; $7.00 per 100; $65.00 per 1000.

Leucojum 
Leucojum Vernum 
(Spring Snowflake) 
This pretty bulbous plant is similar to the 
Snowdrop but of larger, stronger and more at- 
tractive habit. In rich soil it grows to a height 
of 8 inches and produces, in late April, beautiful 
large white flowers, tipped with green; excellent 
for cutting. 85c per doz.; $6.50 per 100. 
Mertensia Virginica 
(Virginia Blue Bells) 
A beautiful hardy perennial that should be 
planted with Daffodils for contrast. The flower 
buds are pink, opening into lovely dainty flowers 
of porcelain-blue, borne in nodding clusters. 
This beautiful spring flower starts blooming 
along with Daffodils and lingers to frolic with 
the May-flowering Tulips. Delightful in the 
open border or along woody paths. Choice Se- 
lected’ Roots for the garden for naturalizing:
