PYRETHRUMS (Painted Daisies) 
After years of growing and selecting Pyrethrums, 
we find that the new double and semi-double named 
varieties truly surpass all others. We have a lim- 
ited supply of the following three varieties to offer 
this Spring. All plants are potted with a good root 
system, are healthy and thrifty growing. We can- 
not ship after May Ist, so order without delay. Fall 
shipping will begin in September. Additional vari- 
eties of these may be seen in our display gardens, 
and if sufficient stock available, will be offered in 
our later larger catalog.

ens the plants. Be sure to cut them off after flow- 
ering. With extra watering and fertilizing, fre- 
quently the double daisies will give recurrent bloom 
in fall. 
SIBERIAN IRIS 
The Siberian Iris are tall, with slender stems and 
grasslike foliage. Of easy culture, they prefer 
moist soil, but will do well in any good garden soil, 
in full sun to light shade. Avoid using lime or 
bonemeal, as they do best in neutral to slightly acid 
soil. Their blooming season is around that of the 
late tall bearded (late May through June in this 
section). The Siberian Iris are beardless, with dif- 
ferent petal formation, greater substance, and are 
unsurpassed for cut flowers. Like the daylilies, 
once set the Siberians can be left alone for four or 
five years, increasing in beauty and number of 
flowers yearly, before division is necessary. 
A handful of peat moss or leaf mold around the 
root at time of setting is very beneficial in rapid 
re-establishment of plant.

Above prices are for 4 to 6 fan divisions, not sin- 
gle fans or 2 to 3 fan divisions. We can of course 
cut down on the size and charge you less, but we 
believe the larger sized plants will give greater 
satisfaction. 
We have about 60 varieties of Siberians for sale. 
If you wish others this spring, send us your want 
list. Approximately half this number will be listed 
in our larger catalog for early fall shipping. 
SPURIA IRIS 
Like the Siberians, this group likes rich soil and 
moisture, but will perform in anv enood garden soil. 
These, too, make excellent cut flowers as well as 
handsome border plants.
