PLANT THEM EARLY, AS SOON AS RIPE

You will find the growing of Iris from seeds a most fa!
true, exacting some patience, but rich in rewards. I have this year some
magnificent new varieties blooming, one in particular was the cynosure of all
eyes in my garden this Spring, another one is a much glorified Alcazar, much
finer and larger than its parent — you can do the same. Most seeds come up
the following Spring, some lie dormant for two years; they bloom the second
year, some the third. The finer the seed parent, the more glorious the off-
spring is apt to be, works the same as with Delphiniums!

MIXED SEEDS from the best low priced varieties, per pkt. of 25 seeds, 25c.

MIXED SEEDS from the best medium priced varieties, incluching such fine
Irises ar Lord of June, Seminole, Dream, Alcazar, etc., per pkt. of 25
seeds $1.00.

MIXED SEEDS from the finest garden varieties, such as Hermione, Madame
Gaudichau, Mile. Schwartz, Marsh Marigold, Shekinah, and others equally
fine, per pkt. of 25 seeds, $2.00.

STRAIGHT SEEDS from individual varieties, such as Ann Page, Morning Splen-
dor, Phyllis Bliss, Robert W. Wallace, Emily Tenney (New-Pudor) ; 10c per
seed, but not less than 3 seeds of any variety sold; you need that many
seeds in order to se sure to get 1 or 2 plants.

GALWAYS NAME 2 SUBSTITUTES, as varieties ordered may not produce seed-
pods this season; this is impossible to tell at this time; last season hun-
dreds of clumps of Lord of June did not produce a single seed pod.

IRIS, New California Bracteata. — In the type the flowers are yellow, beauti-
fully netted with brown crimson veins, but seedlings produce a wide range
of colour, including pinks and even reds. The seed offered was saved
from the yellow-flowered variety. Per pkt. 25c.

IRIS, New California Tenax. — Flowers vary from deep claret to pale lavender
or lilac, or pale grey with a beautiful network of silvery veins. The
foliage is grassy and slender, but the plant is perfectly hardy. Per pkt. 25c.

By all means try some Californian Iris; they are most lovely, low growing
subjects, with a wealth of flowers during May; with us the clumps stay green
all winter.

SIBERIAN IRIS SEEDS, named or mixed, 25c per package.

JAPANESE IRIS SEEDS, from finest varieties, 25c per package; not ready untill
September.

AN EXCELLENT IRIS BULLETIN

The U. S. Department of Agriculture at Washington, D. C., has issued an
exceedingly interesting and well illustrated manual on Garden Irises, including
chapters on Iris diseases and insect pests and remedies. You will find it of
great value. Ask for Farmers’ Bulletin No. 1406 and address your letter to the
Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office, Washington, D. C.,
enclosing ten cents in coin, not stamps. Be sure and do it right.
