own. Culture like Freezias. 4 or 5 may be planted in a 5” pot. Blooming size, 2 for

very beautiful flowers in the early spring. Flowers are prized by florists and ex- 
pensive. Cheaper to grow your own. Culture like Freesias. 4 or 5 may be planted 
in a 5” pot. Blooming size, 2 for 15c. 75 doz.. 
IRIS FAMILY. Iridaceae 
The Iris is the type genus of this family. The following, from Iris and in- 
eluding Moraea belong to the Iris Family. 
Iris. Tall Bearded Iris are garden favorites in all climates, north or south. 
They are easily moved in the fall. In fact, in the north they are usually planted 
in the fall. When planted in early fall, many but sometimes not all flower the 
following spring. Plant the rhizones shallow, not over 1” below surface. The fol- 
lowing very ;Lrief list are only a few of those we offer. If interested, send for

Dutch Iris. Dutch and Spanish Iris are about the same. They are bulbous. 
The flowers are not fragile like Bearded Iris, hence are very useful for cutting. 
This year we can offer only one named sort and a mixture. 
Culture. Plant any time in the fall but as early as possible as bulbs planted 
after Nov. 15 may not succeed. Planting and culture like Glads. Full sun or slight 
shade. Hardy in north. 
Yellow Queen. Tall deep golden yellow. 3 for 20c. 65c doz. 
Mixed. Assorted colors. 65c doz. 
Gladiolus 
Culture. Glads planted Nov. 15 to Mar. 1 in Southern California and thruout 
the south (a little later in Northern California and early as possible in spring in 
the east) are reasonably sure to escape the attaek of thrips. But Glad bulbs 
must be early dug or they will not start early or bloom early. Our Glad bulbs 
are especially grown for this purpose, matured early and dug in August. But 
if you plant recently dug bulbs you will gain nothing; they will continue their 
rest of three months before starting.
