D. MEDIA ALBA—This lovely plant is native to the Mid-West and 
Eastern parts of the country. It has an umbel of up to 20 white flowers 
carried on a 24” stem. 
ERYTHRONIUM 
Here are two of the most colorful of this very lovely genus. Doubt- 
less you know one or more of their yellow or white cousins by the 
common names of ''Deer Tongue," ''Lamb's Tongue,” or ''Dog Tooth 
Violet." These are extremely lovely planted in a shaded corner of the 
rockery, or for naturalizing in a woodsy spot. 
$1.00 each 
E. HENDERSONI—This beauty comes from Southern Oregon and is 
light pink in color, with yellow stamens. 
E. EMSOCHREUM—This light lavender Erythronium from the Mid- 
West we think is very choice. It is very rarely listed in catalogues. 
IRIS 
We have many species of Iris, but only one in sufficient quantity to 
offer this year. 
|. TENAX—$.50 each—A very lovely lilac colored native of the Pacific 
Coast, we think it the best of the Pacific Coast species. This 
fibrous rooted Iris is often found in the wild on sun baked, clay banks, 
far from any moisture, but in the garden it prefers a humusy soil with 
some water. It naturalizes beautifully, quickly spreading out to make 
a very large plant. It is also an excellent border plant, and wonderful 
for cutting. 
HARDY ORCHIDS 
Probably the most glamorous flowers in any garden are the Orchids, 
and the following hardy beauties are certainly no trouble to grow. 
Their preference is for a lightly shaded spot with humusy, moist soil, 
although on Puget Sound they seem to thrive in the full sun if given 
plenty of moisture. These plants are very nice in a shaded corner of the 
rockery, but are also good border plants, especially effective when 
interplanted with Rhododendrons. They naturalize wonderfully, and 
for a really lovely sight, plant them in a woodsy spot next fo a moss 
covered rotten log. 
CYPREPEDIUM ACAULE—$1.00 each—Commonly known as the "Pink 
Ladyslipper" this low growing May bloomer has green petals and a 
warm rose colored ''shoe."'
