MODERN TALL BEARDED VARIETIES 
There are literally thousands of different varieties of 
tall bearded iris and scores of new ones introduced - every 
year. Only a few of these thousands are truly distinctive 
with all-’round merit combining vigorous, healthy habit of 
growth, freedom of bloom, good size and worthwhile color. 
It’s part of our business to cull out needless duplication 
of colors and types, weak growing kinds and those that 
have been superseded by new improved varieties. That’s 
why our list is short, but every variety in it is good. 
Last year we couldn’t begin to fill our iris orders even 
though we sold too many varieties down to the barest 
minimum. The only irises left on the place are the new 
plantings of 1945 and we must on that account say definite- 
ly NO IRIS FOR SPRING DELIVERY. 
Best results follow late summer planting. We do our 
own planting in August and early September and deliver all 
orders at this time. Come see our iris in early June. It’s 
so much easier to choose from the actual flowers than any 
printed description. 
Prices quoted are for single rhizomes 
delivered in July or later

BEARDLESS VARIETIES 
Hardy varieties that are prodigious bloomers, establish- 
ed clumps often producing 50 or more long, tubular flower- 
ing stems rising from narrow, ornamental grass-like foliage. 
Blooms resemble the florists’ midwinter-blooming Dutch iris 
and make excellent cutflowers, lasting a long time in vases 
in the house. Excellent for landscaping, especially around 
a pool. 
They do best with more moisture than should be allowed 
the bearded iris and like some humus or very old manure in 
the soil, but will do well most anywhere except under ex- 
treme drouth conditions.

HOSTA, PLAINTAINLILY 
Large, luxuriant clumps of broad shining leaves grow 
from compact crowns that send up graceful spikes of nod- 
ding tubular lily-like flowers in midsummer. Especially 
valuable for shady places—the best answer to that common 
question, ‘What summer flowers can I have in the shade?” 
Hardy, pest-free, easily grown in ordinary soil.

While the hostas grow and bloom in most any soil they 
get really luxuriant in sheltered positions where the soil is 
light and filled | with humus. They like old, well-rotted manure 
and leafmold in almost any quantities and appreciate extra 
moisture. Growing in our new shade house are 8 species in 
addition to those described above—the most complete collection 
*n the entire West, but in quantities too Hmitea to offer for 
sale until this fall We invite you to come and see them an@ 
place your orders for September delivery. 

HARDY LILIES 
Bare-root lily bulbs are seldom successful from spring 
planting. All lilies are very scarce and prices will be higher 
by fall, but for paid-in-full advance orders this spring the 
prices of 1945 will prevaid. List on request. 
A few species are available in pots for spring and 
summer planting.
