Dutch Iris 
In England the Dutch Iris is proudly called “the poor man’s orchid.” It 
deserves the name. The orchid-like blooms are rich in captivating colors, 
ranging from pure white through golden yellow to cornflower-blue, dark 
violet and deep purple. They’re superb for cutting, stand a lot of handling 
and last a week or longer in water. Also, the bulbs multiply rapidly and 
when once established, the colony continues to increase, giving you more 
flowers each year. Few bulbs are as inexpensive and prolific. They repay 
you with generous beauty, asking little in return except a sunny spot, well 
drained, and a little winter protection in the colder parts of the country.

riety. Lovely for cutting.

The Wonder Weed Killer 
DOES NOT irritate the skin. DOES NOT corrode metals or spray equipment. DOES NOT 
damage or sterilize soil. DOES NOT explode. 
that is hazardous to pets or livestock. IT KILLS the plant or weed underground as well as 
above ground—RIGHT DOWN TO THE ROOT TIPS. 
WHAT IS WEEDONE? 
WEEDONE is a new kind of weed killer, which when sprayed onto 
the leaves of certain weeds, is absorbed by the plant and penetrates 
down to the end of the root system, and thereby kills the plant through- 
out. For complete kill, all the foliage must be sprayed as there is little 
cross-movement within the stem. WEEDONE is effective only when the 
leaves are green and actively growing, for the chemical does not move 
through dormant or dead tissue. 
WEEDONE usually takes a week to ten days before showing its first 
effect, and the plant takes two or four weeks to die. This slow action 
gives the chemical a chance to move all through the plant. 
WHAT WEEDS DOES IT KILL? 
WEEDONE is a selective weed killer; that is, it kills some weeds and 
damages others, while still others are not affected by it. WEEDONE 
is recommended for killing poison ivy, poison oak, bindweed or wild 
morning glory, Japanese honeysuckle, sassafras, black locust, and wild 
or choke cherry. It will also kill many other weeds under favorable 
conditions. 
In late spring and early summer before the plant has matured or 
hardened, 90 to 95 per cent kill has been obtained with one spray 
application of WEEDONE to cocklebur, blackberry, Canada thistle, 
yarrow, dandelion, plantain; sumach, oxalis, chickweed, horse nettle, 
sheep sorrel, ragweed, white clover, French weed and sweet clover. 
Most grasses, while damaged with WEEDONE, are not killed by it, 
particularly when the grasses are dormant or about to go to seed. 
Nimble Will, crab grass, and Bermuda grass have been killed with 
WEEDONE spray as seedlings, but these grasses are quite resistant when 
fully grown.

English Sris 
These magnificent bulbous Irises thrive in any ordinary garden soil but 
prefer a good loam. The earlier the planting, after beginning of September, 
the greater the success; the bulbs should be planted 4 inches deep. The 
varieties contained in our mixture, we have especially selected as being the 
very finest and most distinct in cultivation, ana they will be found as 
strikingly beautiful in color as many of the sumptuous Orchids. They flower 
from end of June to beginning of July, thus succeeding the Bearded Flag 
Irises, Early Xiphium and Spanish Irises. As cut flowers they take a first 
place.

Iris Species 
Reticulata (Fragrant Iris) Three 85c, Doz. $3.00, 100 $21.00 
This lovely species is one of the treasures of the garden or rock garden. 
It can be described as a small form of the Spanish or Dutch Iris. Its 
main value lies in the fact that it may be forced into bloom in the 
house with the greatest ease. Six or eight bulbs put into a 4- to 5-inch 
pot when received will bloom about Christmas time. The fragrant blos- 
soms remind one of a bunch of fresh violets. Perfectly hardy with 
reasonable protection. It is one of the loveliest early flowering bulbs for 
the rockery. To show it off well, plant a number of bulbs under the 
white Arabis Alpina; you'll enjoy the results more than we can tell you.

DOES NOT leave residue on plants or weeds 
EFFECT OF RAIN 
Rain before WEEDONE is applied makes the plant more sensitive to 
WEEDONE. Rain interferes with the absorption of WEEDONE only if 
the rain occurs in the first six hours after spraying. 
WHEN TO APPLY 
WEEDONE gives the best results when applied on warm, sunny days 
above 70 degrees. Below 50 degrees, there is little movement within 
the plant so the response to WEEDONE is negligible below 50 degrees. 
In arid sections with low humidity, sprays should be applied in the 
morning, as the solution may evaporate too rapidly from the leaves if 
applied in the afternoon. In most localities, this means that weeds are 
in the best condition for WEEDONE application between May 15th and 
September 15th. 
DIRECTIONS 
For application, WEEDONE is mixed with water to form a milky 
emulsion. For most weeds, use a _1 to 60 dilution, which is made by 
mixing one gallon of WEEDONE with 60 gallons of water. For smaller 
quantities use the mixing table below. Poison ivy in light or sandy 
soil, bindweed and black locust can also be killed, though more slowly, 
with a 1 to 100 dilution, that is, one gallon of WEEDONE in 100 gallons 
of water.
