SPECIAL LILY GARDENS 
Ever have a garden with nothing but Lilies in it? This is 
a highly desirable possession and you'll never be sorry; 
fact is, if you are like most Lily enthusiasts, your Lily gar- 
den will grow and grow. A garden like this requires at 
least two-thirds sun and perfect drainage. That’s all. Next 
spring, after the Lilies have come up, bed the bare spots 
with white annuals. Plant bulbs about 18 inches apart.

list; we choose one each of three varieties. Five bulbs,

Special Grass ES eed. 
This mixture is composed mostly of the Fescue race— 
tough, hardy, creeping, shade-resisting grasses. They 
withstand drought better than most grasses, are not 
attacked, like some, by fungus diseases. The rest (15 per- 
cent) is made up of three kinds of upright Bent. There is 
no Kentucky Bluegrass in it. Ditto Rédtop. If you are seed- 
ing a new lawn let us know and we will send you without 
charge enough annual rye grass to form a cover crop 
for these slower germinating grasses. The price of this 
mixture is down sharply this fall ($8.75 for 5 lbs. instead 
of $13.75)—very little more than good hardware store 
grass seed and ever so much better. 
5 Ibs. $8.75; 10 Ibs. $14.75; 
25 Ibs. $32.50; 100 Ibs. $120.00 
Gift Certificates 
There has been a considerable demand for year- 
round gift certificates and we now have them. They 
look like money, feel like money—in fact, they are 
money. Buy them in any multiple of $5.00. We'll 
send the recipient a catalogue.

The hybridizers have done wonders with Iris—from the German bearded types 
to Japs. They have done so well that the big job is selecting the best from 
the thousands of new ones introduced every year. Where we have used old 
varieties we have done it purposely; they still are better than the new 
higher priced ones that are supposed to replace them. On the other hand our 
Collector Offering (the ones $2.50 and over per plant) are the introduc- 
tions that will grow old gracefully. 
Culture generally is very simple but remember that a newly planted 
root will not be sensational its first blooming season — it takes two to three 
years to establish a planting. (Japanese Iris are sold only in the spring.)
