IBERIS - Candytuft 
Although these plants are perhaps more generally grown in the rockery, 
they are equally appropriate subjects for the margins of herbaceous 
borders or as edging to garden walks. When in flower in spring and 
covered with a mass of snow-white blossoms, they add considerably to 
the attractions of the garden. They are of shrubby growth, with dark 
green, evergreen foliage. 
Culture. Grow in good, ordinary soil. Plant in fall or spring, 6 inches 
apart. When plants become straggly, trim them directly after flowering. 
*Little Gem (true form) Each 70c, Three $1.90, Doz. $5.50, 100 $30.00 
Dwarf, pure white flowers in June. Its uniform, neat habit makes it one 
of our best compact low formal edging plants; pertectly hardy. There 
is nothing much better for edging small flower beds. 
Purity Each 75c, Three $2.00, Doz. $6.00, 100 $35.00 
A neat, evergreen, compact and low-growing plant with immense pure 
white flowers which cover the plant entirely when it is in bloom. 
This new variety is in our opinion the best of the dwarf Iberis. Its neat, 
compact habit and rich deep evergreen foliage make it an A No. | 
edging plant for flower beds or along walks. Its uniform habit creates 
a very neatly finished little edging. 
*Sempervirens Each 65c, Three $1.65, Doz. $5.25, 100 $25.00 
Covered with a sheet of white flowers in spring, completely covering its 
rich dark green foliage; a particularly fine plant for the border. Does 
well in light shade and therefore excellent as a ground cover in front of 
shrubs. May be used for edging to parks or walks. Little Gem, however, 
is more formal and upright for these purposes. 
*Snowflake Each 70c, Three $1.90, Doz. $5.50, 100 $30.00 
In growth more compact than Sempervirens, the flowers are fully three 
times as large, covering the plant completely when in bloom. A charm- 
ing plant for edging walks or flower beds, as well as in the rock garden. 
Being all grown from cuttings, the effect created is beautifully uniform 
INCARVILLEA - Trumpet-Flower 
Fleshy rooted perennials of striking beauty. They have handsome, coarse- 
ly toothed or pinnate leaves, and showy, trumpet-shaped flowers borne in 
terminal racemes. Choice plants for the sunny border.

sunny position. Not suitable for heavy or damp soils. Best planted in 
early spring

garden or an excellent ground cover under trees where it will form a 
solid carpet covered with flowers which are very lovely to behold. 
IRIS SPURIA 
(Finest Iris for cut flowers.) These are so different from all other 
Beardless Species and Hybrids as to deserve a separate sub-division. The 
flowers are quite unlike all other Irises, and are very artistic, making 
exquisite cut flowers for which purpose they are used extensively by 
florists. They are hardy anywhere. While not indispensable to their 
success, they prefer a moist spot and make a most imposing effect in 
the garden. .

Spring as Well as Autumn Flowering—Flowering Twice Each Year 
These autumn-flowering Irises have two or more normal flowering sea- 
sons each year. They blossom in the spring along with other early flower- 
ing varieties and again in the autumn, beginning in September and con- 
tinuing until killed by heavy frosts. Some of them also flower intermittently 
throughout the year. 
Autumn Queen Three $1.50, Doz. $4.75 
This is a reliable spring and fall bloomer. A pure snow-white. It belongs 
in almost the same class as Jean Siret and Lieut. Chavagnac so far as 
size and height are concerned, but is a little larger and a little taller. 
Jean Siret Three $1.50, Doz. $4.75 
This variety and Lieut. Chavagnac are the most persistent bloomers of 
the Iris family. They begin to flower quite early in the spring with the 
earliest miniatures and have a long spring-flowering season. They also 
have an equally long autumn-flowering season. Clear chrome-yellow. 
Lieut. Chavagnac Three $1.50, Doz. $4.75
