Tall bearded. iris come into bloom in late May 
and June. They provide wonderful color in the 
garden. Extremely hardy, they multiply rapid- 
ly. May be planted in full sun or -partial 
shade. We have an excellent selection of 
colors this fall, ranging from white through 
Pink, pale and dark blue, apricot, red and 
purple. See our color catalogue in the store 
for prices and varieties. 
Peonies 
One of the most satisfactory perennials we 
know. Even after the lovely blooms are gone 
in late June, the plant retains its dark 
green foliage for the remainder of the 
summer. We have all the pinks, whites and 
reds in every tone and even yellow ones 
Oriental Poppies 
All large, hardy field-grown roots. Dominat ing 
the garden with their rich and gay coloring, 
they contribute much to nature’s picture in 
June. We have a nice selection of pinks, 
salmon, red, orange and white. 
Hardy Garden Lilies 
NE The hardy lilies are easy to grow in 
»7 any good well-drained garden loam 
Wwe and increase in beauty each year. 
Most all lilies do well in a sunny location 
if the soil is mulched so it does not dry out. 
A ground cover of living plants is an excel- 
lent method of keeping your lily bed shaded. 
Because lily bulbs must be cured in the 
fall before they can be replanted, they come 
to us very often, quite late. We Suggest that 
when Preparing your beds and borders in the 
fall, that the holes be dug for the lilies 
(average depth 7 inches) and then stuffed 
with leaves. When the bulbs arrive the leaves 
can be easily removed and the roots set in 
Place and. quickly covered. 
Madonna lilies must be planted much earlier 
and only § inches deep. They must make some 
growth in the fall,
