Tris Is a Grand Early Season Bloomer 
Tris should be planted in a sunny location and may be 
planted in groups or singly. Bearded varieties in general 
prefer an alkaline rather than an acid soil. The Iris 
should be planted in a well-drained location as too much 
moisture, especially in hot weather, may cause the roots 
to decay. The best time for planting is in the summer 
months of July and August. 
We are offering the following select list of popular 
Iris. Orders will be accepted for July or August deliv- 
ery. We can also supply almost any variety of Iris.

PEONY AND IRIS BLOOM DISPLAY 
During the Spring flowering period, we will have 
blossoms of some of the finest of both iris and peony 
varieties, on display in our store. Watch papers for 
announcement. 
PEONIES 
The ideal flower for the great Northwest since it endures 
the most intense cold without injury. The Peony is one of 
the most easily grown, and showiest of the perennial 
flowering plants. Conditions of the soil, Jocation and cul- 
tivation are important factors in growing Peonies. 
Conditions of the soil, location and cultivation are im- 
portant factors in growing Peonies. Peonies may be 
planted in the spring during the month of April and the 
early part of May, or in September. Work the soil thor- 
oughly to a depth of 8 or 10 inches, applying at the 
same time a generous amount of bone meal fertilizer, 
mixed well into the soil. Plant root in this prepared soil 
so that the crown will be about 1 inch below the sur- 
face. Press the soil firmly around the roots. 
Peonies should not be planted any closer than 38 feet’ 
apart and should not. be close to trees as the roots of 
the trees take from the soil the nourishing elements that 
are needed by the Peonies. Plant in a sunny location.
