Iris Kaempferi (Japan Iris). IRIS—The grand and royal colors of the flowers of these superb hardy plants, so often softly blended or else intensified in various lines or marks, are not surpassed by those of any other garden subject. They are invaluable in the herbaceous border, both on account of their hardiness and easy culture, and for the lavish wealth of blossoms that cover their numerous stems. A sunny situation in moist, rich loam is best adapted to their require- ments, and as the clumps increase in size, liberal enriching of the ground, or even re- planting is attended by a great gain in the size and number of the flowers. Iris Germanica (German Iris)—This group blooms in May with wonderful combinations of coloring; leaves broad sword-like. We have an assortment of the best varieties. Iris Kaempferi (Japan Iris)—The Japanese Iris should be planted in a somewhat cool, moist situation, and in rich soil. Its flowers, in late June and July, are quite distinct from those of all other varieties, and will compare favor- ably with some of the exotic orchids. We have a good assortment of the best varieties. MYOSOTIS (Forget-Me-Not)—The Forget-me- Xots are familiar flowers of many gardens, hardy, easy to grow, with bloom sprays of exquisite blue. PAP AVER (Poppy)—Nothing can equal these in gorgeous effect, and whether planted singly or in masses, their large flowers, rich brilliant colors, and freedom of bloom render them conspicuous in any position. PliATYCODOX (Chinese Bellflower)—A valu- able perennial, forming a dense branching bush of upright habit, 1 to 2 feet high, with neat foliage. From the middle of July until late September it bears a constant succession of handsome, large, bell-shaped, deep blue flowers. Succeeds well in any ordinary soil. RUDBECKIA (Golden Glow)
