TOP: IRIS DOUGLASIANA ALBA 
BOTTOM: IRIS INNOMINATA 
IRIS—Our Northwestern Natives. This group is extraordinarily 
beautiful but little known in gardens. In most cases, the 
several species are distributed in distinct areas along the 
sea shore, in the grassy valleys, and high in the mountain 
meadows and open woods. Where they meet, they often 
intermingle, producing glorious color variations of a quality 
and diversity rarely found in native plants. All of these 
Iris bloom in mid- and late Spring. They require a loose 
loam rich in organic matter, such as well-rotted manure, 
leafmold, and rotted wood. Plant in cool light shade in 
sections with hot, dry Summers. In cool climates they will 
grow in full sun. Water generously during the growing sea- 
son of Spring and early Summer. They should be moved 
only at this time! Therefore, we ship only from early 
Spring to mid-May. We are very fond of these lovely, hardy 
Iris and recommend them highly for your border or wild- 
flower garden.

purple, rosy-purple, gold, and white. We unexpectedly dis- 
covered these hybrids in a very limited area of the north- 
ern Coast Range in Oregon. Where they grow on the grassy 
hillsides, they are a glorious display of almost infinite hues.

variations, mixed only. $2.00 and $2.50.

JASMINUM *Parkeri—A rare prostrate shrublet from the Hima- 
layas, with yellow flowers on twisted, tangled bushes of 
rigid stems. Full sun, in well-drained position, with some 
protection in cold areas, and a good soil. The interesting, 
evergreen, pinnate leaves make a pretty background for 
the dainty, late Spring flowers. 12 in. Pots, 75¢ and $1.00. 
JEFFERSONIA *dubia—A rare woodlander from Manchuria, 
which should be grown in a light woodland soil, in a shel- 
tered place, where it will produce its rounded, scalloped, 
pale leaves, a metallic dim-violet tone when young, on 8 
to 10 inch stems. Flowers like those of a large Hepatica, 
of a lovely blue, on thin, wiry stems in early Spring. A 
treasure for the shaded garden. $1.25, $1.75, and $2.50. 
KALMIA “*polifo:ia microphylla—From the cold, swampy mead-

light shade or sun. Pots, 75c; field, $1.00 and $1.50. 
LEUCOTHOE *Davisiae Small Form—An especially fine form of 
this Oregon native shrub. Freely-branching, growing 12 
to 15 inches high. Heavily clothed with deep green, glossy 
leaves, conspicuously veined. The pure white, pendant 
flowers, resembling those of Lily-of-the-Valley, are borne

in our collection! Mulch the plants in Winter. Pots, $1.50

MECONOPSIS betonicifolia Baileyi—The lovely Blue Poppy of 
Tibet. A true perennial in good woodland soil with shade 
during the Summer months. Leafmold, sand, and good 
garden loam is an excellent mixture. The intense sky-blue 
flowers, 3 to 4 inches across, are on 2 to 4 foot stems from 
late Spring to early Summer. The bold, hairy, bluish-green 
foliage is mostly basal. It is extremely important to provide 
perfect drainage during the Winter and to keep the plants 
moist during their growing season. Pick a spot in the bor- 
der or woodland garden protected from wind and sun and 
prepare th2 soil deeply. It is wise to remove the flower 
stalks as soon as the blooms fade. Each year we grow 
many hundreds of this most beautiful and famous plant 
for the shaded garden and find it very easy to manage. 
Strong, blooming size plants, 75c and $1.00.
