HANSEN'S NEW SHILKA 
Everblooming ORCHID 
IRIS 
From the wilds of Siberia, near the town of Shilka, 
comes this new, hardy, Everblooming Orchid. Iris, 
which was brought to this country by Carl A. Han- 
sen from one of his world-wide plant exploration ex- 
peditions. 
A real hardy outdoor perennial for the Northwest. 
It blooms continuously for six to eight weeks after 
all other Irises are gone. Its wide, spreading blooms 
possess lovely, delicate tones of superb orchid and 
blue, mingled with creamy white as found in the 
finest orchids. 
With this latest addition to the Iris family, it is now 
possible for everyone to have flowers growing in 
their own gardens, so like the expensive orchids. 
Long slender stems bear as many as twelve to fif- 
teen superbly beautiful flowers on each plant, all at 
one time, hundreds before the season is over. 
The flowers of the new Shilka are delicately fra- 
grant, a remarkable attribute to an already beautiful 
flower. Many of the blossoms come double. 
The foliage, like other Irises, is attractive all 
through the season, in beds or in border plantings. 
Everyone who likes Irises should plant this newest 
and finest, Shilka Iris.

EARLIEST OF ALL! 
Another very fine ornamental 
introduction by Prof. N. E. Hansen. 
This new Peony has beautiful, 
very showy, red flowers with 
orange-yellow centers. They make 
a most attractive showing and are 
so welcome at the time of year 
they bloom. 
Siberian Fern-Leaf Peonies are 
the very first of the Peonies to 
bloom, from ten days to two 
weeks ahead of all others, and 
are about the only flowers at that 
time of year.

Attractive Cut-Leaf Foliage and Dark Red Flowers 

The plant itself is very attractive all through the sea- 
son, with its fine, cut-leaf, fern-ilke foliage in contrasi 
to other varieties. This Peony is very hardy, resistant 
to drought and leaf spot. Our supply of theses plants 
is not large, so send your orders as early as you can.
