The Alliae. This group is now placed in the Amaryllis family. Sandy loam is 
preferred. Do not add too much leaf mould and no peat, as very acid soil is not good. 
Plant about 244” deep. The species Allium are onions and should be grown in full sun 
unless noted.

used for edgings in the flower or herb garden and add zest to salads. 10c ea. 3 for 25c. 
A. tuberosum. Oriental Garlic. A pretty Allium with white flowers. An ornament

salads without the long-lasting high-powered after effect of garlic. In north, winter the 
plants in pots. Plants 25c ea. 
A. ampeloprasum. Spanish garlic. This was introduced by Burbank as “Elephant 
Garlic,” because of its large size as a plant and bulb. We believed it to be a horticultural 
variety of A. sativum but Dr. Traub has recently identified it as here listed. The name 
is changed but the flavor remains for it is the largest, sweetest and juiciest garlic, easiest 
to peel and is a fine ornamental for the herb garden as it has a 30” flower spike. Price 
reduced. Bulbs 3 for 10c. 35c doz. until Mar. 15. 
IRIS FAMILY—Iridaceae 
The Iris is the type plant of this family which also includes Gladiolus, Marica, 
Tigridia and many others that are listed in our Fall Catalogs. 
Tall Bearded Iris. The old fashioned name was Iris Germanica, or simply Flags. 
We thought them lovely, but modern Iris, with their infinite colors, markings and 
blendings, are scarcely recognizable as their descendants. 
Iris may be moved at any time of year, when weather permits digging and replant- 
ing. The best time is soon after they are thru blooming. That is May-June in this climate. 
You may order at once and we will send them now or if you so specify we will send them 
after flowering, a better time. 
Culture is most easy. Plant with roots spread out and rhizomes barely covered.
