An exquisite small bulbous variety; flowers pure white, with a blue triangle on each petal; 1 foot. 25 cts. per doz.; $ per 100. MOURNING IRIS ). In that wonderful combination of form and coloring of the rare sweet flower we call the Iris (the eye of heaven) there is -^ none so peculiarly beautiful as Susiana. It stands out in its own right as the grandest of all species. The groundwork of the flower is silvery gray, so mottled and veined and lined with dark chocolate and black as to leave one under the impression that it is only a silver lining showing through. It is perfectly hardy without the slightest pro- tection, blooming early in spring. No description can do it justice. It must be seen to be appreciated. Very scarce this season. 25 cts. each; $ per doz. Do not fail to try the " Matchless " Tulip* offered on page 8.
