DWARF IRIS 
We’re about sold out on many of the named var- 
ieties, but still have the little early, red-purple 
Atroviolacea for 25c, and the nice yellow Stewart 
for the same price. You’ll have much fun, many 
surprises and great pleasure out of our border front 
or rock garden collection of 10 unlabeled dwarf iris, 
all different, full color range, for only $1.50. 
SPURIA IRIS. 
These tall swamp or marshland loving iris take a 
full season, usually, to bloom and_ re-establish. 
1950 has been unduly wet; both the Siberians 
and Spurias have loved it. Their bloom has been 
long and excessive. For best results we plant these 
at the foot of a slope, where moisture is always 
present, or if not that, then within easy range of the 
sprinkler, and in combination with Hemerocallis or 
_ other perennial that takes kindly to a lot of water.

Our roots are large and good. Stock is limited, 
so order eariy. Shipping starts about September 
Ist. Be sure to plant about four inches deep, and 
lay a heavy mulch of straw, leaves or peat moss 
over them each winter. This mulch can be worked 
in after spring growth starts, and is ideal for soil 
improvement. We have added wood and coal 
ashes to heavy clay, also sand to break it up, and 
top dressed the soil liberally with peat moss, well 
rotted manure or compost. Spurias are one of the 
most valuable of flowers for line arrangements or 
corsage work. 
_We have limited quantities of other spurias, and 
will be glad to quote prices on request. 
HEMEROCALLIS 
The mean winter of 1949-1950 injured many of 
our Hemerocallis. We have therefore listed only a 
small number. All listed are vigorous and hardy— 
the kind of plants we like to ship out. When our 
stock is again up to par, likely in the spring of 
1951, we will offer some 200 varieties for sale. If 
you will write us now, sending a want list, there 
will be a few of such Hemerocallis available this 
Fall from our display garden—such as Ruby Su- 
preme, Halo, Hannah Dustin, Persian Princess, 
Black Prince, Rosalind, Star of Gold, Chisca, etc.
