Vesper Iris

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
6 for *1-25
12 for 72-40

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.

Bleeding Hearts

A favorite in grandmother’s garden and popular for flower ar-
rangements today. A delight in early spring. Blooming size plants.

PEONIES

This type of Peony is very graceful in growth and oto

quite different in type of flower. The flowers are single
or semi-double 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.

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
