IRIS 
IRIS—LONG BEARDED 
We grow a long list of choice iris for summer and 
early fall delivery. 
IRIS—SIBERIAN 
Siberian iris are excellent for brightening the bor- 
ders of streams or ponds although they will thrive in 
most any part of the garden. A well watered soil rich 
in humus and slightly acid with full sun or light shade 
is recommended. A profusion of bloom on tall grace- 
ful stems emerging from grass-like foliage makes the 
Siberian Iris especially valuable for your garden. 
Emperor. Deep violet. Each 35c. 
Kingfisher. Rich violet, falls marked with white. Each 
35c. 
Periwinkle. Violet blue and turquoise. Each 40c. 
Perry’s Blue. Uniform light blue. Each 30c. 
Red Raider. Red toned purple. Each 50c. 
Snow Queen. Pure white. Each 35c. 
Wisteria. Fall very large, wisteria blue, suffused deep- 
er blue, standards large. Distinct and very attrac- 
tive. Each 50c. 
MERTENSIA 
(Bluebells) 
Prefer moist soil and part shade. Each 40c. 
Ciliata. Mountain Bluebell. A vigorous species of 
graceful habit for moist position in sun or shade. 
Platensis. La Plata Bluebell. Similar to Ciliata but 
its flowers are larger and deeper blue. 
Virginica. This Eastern Bluebell has the largest flow- 
ers of all and is very beautiful. 
PEONIES AND THEIR CULTURE 
Peonies prefer a deep, well drained soil, in full sun, 
fairly rich and of medium texture, neither very heavy 
nor very sandy. Manuring is not recommended at 
the time of planting nor subsequently as long as the 
plants maintain a satisfactory growth. Bone meal and 
sheep manure are probably the safest fertilizers to use. 
Plant two to four feet apart, covering the eyes only 
two or three inches when the ground is leveled.
