GARDENS though on Saturdays we are usually

Our Irises usually show their best bloom during’ 
the first week of June; Oriental Poppies and Peonies 
first to third weeks; and Hemerocallis during July. 
Each July day finds more than 100 different named 
Hemerocallis in bloom. Daylily bloom begins about 
the middle of May and continues until freezing 
weather in the fall. Plant them for better homes 
and better living.

SHIPPING TIME 
Beardless Irises may be shipped throughout the 
season except when in bloom. They should have 
plenty of moisture until established. Bearded Irises 
are shipped from early July to the close of the 
season. Planting instructions accompany all ship- 
ments. 
THE FINEST OF IRISES 
Nearly all modern Irises produce very large 
flowers - - 2 to 4 times as large as the older sorts - - 
are good growers, splendidly formed, with strong 
stalks and heavy substance, and they show us many 
new colorings, hues, tones, and blends. The Iris 
still is ‘The most decorative form in all the 
flower world.”
