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 e flower is silvery-gray, so mottled and veined and lined with dark chocolate and black as to leave one under the impression that : is only a silver lining showing through. It is perfectly hardy with- the slightest protection, blooming early in spring. No description can ao it justice. It must be seen to be appreciated. (See cut.) 10 cts. each; $ per doz.; $ per lMfJ. We offer some other varieties of Bulbous Iris on page 27. See also page 26.
