Vesper Dris 


The beautiful filigree of graceful branches of the Vesper Iris is studded 
with an almost unbelievable number of jewel-like flowers, truly a mammoth 
bouquet. The delicately colored blossoms, which at a little distance resemble 


somewhat a multitude of gorgeous butterflies at rest, with motionless out- 
stretched wings, vary in color, including such hues as cool translucent laven- 
der, with markings of mahogany, copper, lemon, orange, brown and Tyrian. 


30¢ Each

P. P. Prepaid 





The Vesper Iris, which often grows almost shoulder high, has a graceful ethereal 
beauty really impossible to describe. It is perfectly hardy and will endure both 
severe cold and intense heat with impunity. This little known but most desirable 
Iris will enhance the beauty of your garden with its delicate blossoms in the latter 
part of July and during August, sometimes continuing to flower even in September, 
filling the gap between the late Tall Bearded varieties and the fall bloomers.

A favorite in grandmother's garden and popular for flower ar-

This type of Peony is very graceful in growth and 
quite different in type of flower. The flowers are single 
or semidouble with wide flaring petals of exquisite 
coloring and texture. The centers are usually a more or 
less compact mass of tiny petals or petaloids surround- 
ing the stamens and usually of a color contrasting with 
the main petal color. Very charming color effects are 
found among them.

Single PEONIES 





L’Etincelante 


Somewhat like the Japanese Peony but having no central petal- 
oids, the stamens being exposed to form the contrast with the 
guard or main petals. As a class they are very graceful plants, 
holding their blooms well off the ground without support and 
offering very handsome subjects for bouquets as well as the 


garden. Each

The old-fashioned Day Lily has under 
gone a transformation in the hands of hy- 
bridists in the past few years. Now we have 
great variety of color, time of bloom, May 
to September, and new shapes from which 
to choose. All are hardy and do well in 
sun or partial shade. If you do not have 
these newer Day Lilies you are missing a 
rare beauty in your garden. Beautiful for 


cut flowers as well as garden. See back
