Every perennial we offer is hardy in Northern In- 
diana. We prefer spring planting of such perennials as 
will transplant at that time. Often quite hardy plants 
will be injured by the winter when planted in the fall. 
A light mulch of straw, weeds or leaves is always de- 
sirable with perennials regardless of when planted. 
IRIS 
The iris we offer are all very choice. Part of them were 
Dykes Medal winners and sold at one time for from $10 to 
$20 per root. These are all of the spring blooming type. Or- 
der these with your regular order and they will be shipped to 
you in August which is the time they are nearest dormant 
Those who send in early orders may have them in April or 
early May.
