It is absolutely hardy and will grow almost anywhere. The flowers are royal purple and gold, and are borne freely on stems about 4 inches high, followed by grassy-like leaves 1 foot in height. It does beautifully indoors, six or more bulbs in a pan or pot, making an exquisite display in midwinter. 15 cts. each; | per doz.; $ per 100. PEACOCK IRIS (I. Pavonia) An exquisite small bulbous variety; flowers pure white, with a blue triangle on each petal; 1 foot. 30 cts. per doz.; .75 per 100. mOURNING IRIS (I. Susiana) 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 protection, bloom- ing early in spring. No description can do it justice. It must be seen to be appre- ciated. 20 cts. each; $ doz.
