flowers are from 8 to 12 inches in diameter and are almost as 
handsome as orchids, with their rich colorings and markings. 
The Iris does best in а rich, moist situation and should receive 
an abundant supply of manure and water. We offer ten fine 
named varieties of the following colors: White, purple, vio- 
let, mauve, magenta, etc. 25 cts. each, $2 for 10, $17.50

Peonies, Herbaceous 
After trying many varieties, we have at last suc- 
ceeded in securing a collection of these beautiful plants 
which succeed admirably in this section. We offer 
twelve best sorts, double and single white and several 
shades of pink, rose and red. Peonies do best in rich, 
deep, rather moist, loamy soil, and if plants are pro- 
tected from the hot afternoon sun they will give excel- 
lent results. They should have a liberal supply of 
water at all times, especially when in bloom. Fertilize 
liberally with cow manure, as they are heavy feeders. 
Keep the ground well cultivated. If these few simple 
directions are carried out, the result will be most sat- 
isfactory. Plant during fall. 25 cts. each, $2 for 10, 
$17.50 per 100.
