ORIENTAL IRIS 
(Uris Kaempferi) 
*“*The Hardy Garden Orchid”’ 
These summer-blooming Iris are among the 
most important of the hardy perennials. In 
beauty, form, and color they rival or even 
surpass the celebrated orchid. 
They grow splendidly in a sunny position 
in any ordinary good garden soil that may be 
watered heavily near blooming-time, and are 
especially effective planted at the edge of a 
pool or along a stream. Attaining a height of 
about 3 feet, the flowers come in a wide 
variety of color and as large as 8 inches 
across. The 3-petaled varieties are equally as 
artistic and beautiful as the 6-petaled kinds, 
for their charm and sparkle compensate for 
what they lack In petalage. 
Nore: All varieties have a pronounced 
gold streak toward the base of the petals.

PHLOX 
For a briiliant, bold color effect in mass 
during the late summer and autumn, the 
Hardy Phloxes are indispensable. Without 
them it would be difficult to maintain the dis- 
play of dazzling color afforded during July 
and August. 
Simple of culture, they require a rich soil. 
Frequent feedings will insure richer flower 
trusses. Removing flower-heads after bloom- 
ing-time will encourage new flowers from side 
shoots to lengthen the blooming period.

ORIENTAL POPPY 
(Papaver orientale) 
For dazzling, barbaric splendor, the great 
Oriental Poppies are absolutely unrivaled. 
Standing out in bold relief they command at- 
tention and admiration. The prevailing color 
is a vivid orange-scarlet, with large black 
blotches at the base of the petals, and a great 
mass of bluish black stamens in the heart of 
the large, cup-shaped flowers. 
We have combed the list of varieties to be 
sure of offering you the best. Also we have in- 
cluded some of the new ones that we selected 
after serious comparison and study. For your 
convenience we have listed them as to color 
predominance. 
September and October are fine months to 
plant Poppies. We have sometimes had our 
best luck when planting in late October and 
early November. Given reasonably rich soil 
and a light winter covering, these strong field- 
grown plants will be sturdy and free flowering 
next spring. 
All Poppies are 65 cts. each; 
3 for $1.80

maroon. 
Cavalier. Flowers are crinkly and deep 
scarlet-red. Strong grower and free
