- tFEILUM 
TENUIFOLIUM 
DAVURICUM 
SETOSA—ebkt(2)20. A good, easy, distinctive species. Deep

vestiges. Quite variable. Pkt. 15c; 74 oz. 25c; 1% oz. 40c.

and vividly lined and splashed over white. Pkt. 15c; 3 pkts.

IRIS AVALON BLEND 
A bit of every Iris of which we have seed is in this 
blend, but not in equal amounts, kind for kind, of course. 
Some are too scarce for that, but of each there is at least 
a little, with much of many, to give a balance of color 
and form that has probably not been equaled in any 
other Iris seed blend anywhere. Here is chance to secure 
fine Irises in quantity. 7; oz. 15c; % oz. 25c; %4 oz. 40c; 
1 oz. $1.25; % Ib. $4.00.

technically, a Hymenocallis. Enormous, snowy, wax-like 
chalices, guarded by long streamer-petals of pure white, 
the whole deliciously fragrant. Illustrated page 30, also 
on back cover. Our stock is free from admixture with 
the small-flowered, fast-propagating sorts so often found 
all through commercial Ismene strains. It costs us more 
to keep it this way, for the better stocks multiply slowly, 
but it’s worth the difference. Bulbs, each 30c; 3 for 75c; 
10 for $2.00. 
2 ISOTOMA LONGIFLORA—w. Pretty Lobelia-cousin for 
pot culture. Flowers waxen white, with slender tubes that 
expand to starry corollas. Like many another flower, it 
is pOlsonous if eaten. Just look, don’t lunch. Pkt. 20c. 
2 IXIA BLEND—eck(w)(1)20. Pretty South African bulb- 
Irid. Blossoms of pink, rose, crimson, lilac, orange or 
cream. Usually grown as a _ pot bulb, when it flowers 
nicely in late winter, but if heavily winter-protected with 
straw or leaves, it can be grown outside in climates 
equivalent to those of Connecticut or southern Michigan, 
blooming then in early spring. Pkt. 15c; 1/32 oz. 25e.

fusion over a long season. Illustrated page 48. Pkt. 15c;
