DUTCH AND SPANISH IRIS BULBS 
These Iris bulbs vary in price according to the size of the 
bulbs. We sell only the large size, first quality of bulbs sure to 
bloom outdoors in your garden, so don’t be misled by lower prices, 
the bulbs will certainly be smaller in size. 
Bulbs must be planted in October or November (not later)— 
to remain in the ground for two or three years, when the colonies 
then formed must be divided in August, and replanted in Sep- 
tember. It will be found that the blubs have tripled and quad- 
rupled. 
Plant these Iris bulbs in well-drained, light, sandy loam, if 
possible, fertilize with bone meal at planting time, and mulch 
well during the winter in cold climates.

AUNT MARY’S SWEET CORN 
Originated in Ohio, it is supposed to have been given to some 
person named “‘Aunt Mary” by the Indians, and handed down 
through the family for many years and was again put on the 
market two or three years ago by a Mr. Bonnewitz. It is taking 
the country by storm and not enough praise can be given it. 
Never was sweet corn that tasted as sweet. It will stay in good 
condition for table use for two or three weeks. It stays in milk so 
long that natural ripening is impossible; ears that were ready for 
table use in September were still in milk when hard frosts killed 
the plants. 
You can make early sowing, mid-season sowing and late plant- 
ing, throughout the entire season and can have your sweet corn 
into October; the late planting contain even a higher percentage 
of sugar than the early plantings. 
BY ALL MEANS GIVE THIS SWEET CORN A TRIAL THIS 
YEAR AND YOU WILL COME BACK FOR MORE NEXT 
YEAR. Make your first planting during May—two weeks apart; 
make another one the second week in June, another the last week 
in June, and the last planting the first week in July, and this 
will furnish you sweet green ears in early October. 
We have had reports from customers having the ears for table 
use for Thanksgiving. They had made late plantings of seed in 
June and July.

nels, 15c; per pkt. of approx. 250 seeds, 25c; 4% pound will produce
