16 Cax'l Pnx'dy, Ukiah, Califoxuxia mgj marked with yellow; Pyramid, also double, lilac-blue, center of each petal shaded white; Robert Craig, a delicate French gray with violet veins, most charming; Topaz, a single, reddish amaranth throughout; T. S. Ware, reddish violet, veined white, and white centers, with some lemon markings; Victor, white, veined violet-purple, pure violet- purple at center. I offer them in mixture at 20 cts. each, or $1.50 a doz. Strong plants of named varieties at 25 cts. each, or $2 a doz. Strong plants about December 15. Plants can be sent out from August to March. Early planting is advisable, and where plenty of water is available, September planting is the best. They are generally considered bog plants, and do well on the edge of ponds, running streams or ditches. They will grow under several inches of water. Heavy feeding and plenty of water during the growing season are necessary. On dry hills plant in rows 2>yi feet across and a foot apart in the row; the plants about 3 inches above the trough between the rows. In early spring spread barnyard manure between the rows about 6 inches deep, and at frequent intervals water with a hose, thus washing the liquid manure to the roots. The manure also forms a mulch which serves to prevent evaporation of moisture in dry seasons. Give a dressing of nitrate of soda and bone meal when planting. Iris of the Pallida class are German Irises, which grow to as much as4 feet in height, with very broad leaves and large flowers. I can supply Pallida odoratissima at 25 cts., and a set of 12 fine varieties at 35 cts. each. They vary from light blue to lilac. Iris pumila are the Crimean and so-called Alpine Irises, which form low tufts, with the leaves scarcely 3 inches long, while the showy flowers fairly cover the plant. White, Ashy, Yellow and Deep Purple at 25 cts. each, $2 per doz. Iris Cretensis is a fine winter-flowering Iris, with leaves like our native Irises, and a deep blue and very fragrant flower in midwinter. 25 cts. and 50 cts. each. Iris fcetida has inconspicuous flowers, but the seed-pods open in the fall and show rows of brilliant scarlet-orange seeds which stay for some time and are very decorative. 25 cts. each. Iris Pseudacorus is a strong-growing species delighting in wet ground and forming large masses. The flowers are on strong stems, and bright yellow. 25 cts. each. Striped Irises are a strong-growing variety, striped white and green. 20 cts. each. Iris stylosa is a very handsome Iris, which flowers in the middle of the winter. The leaves are rather slender, and the flowers of good size and light blue. 25 cts. each. Iris ochroleuca, called the Oriental Iris, is also a treasure, with its fine foliage standing erect, 2 to 3 feet high, and the stems overtopping them by another foot or more and producing many cream-colored flowers. It thrives on dry ground and also does well at the edge of the water. 25 cts. each. Iris Sibirica has foliage almost like our wild Iris—dark green, low and slender, and the stems grow to 2 or 3 feet in height. My plants are excellent at 15 cts. each and $1.25 per doz. Native Californian Iris. See page 27. Lavatera trimestris is an annual, but so good that I offer seedlings for early spring delivery. It is related to the mallows, and grows 2 or 3 feet high, with large, soft pink flowers produced all through summer and fall. Any good soil suits it. 75 cts. per doz. LAVENDER is the well-beloved, fragrant plant of all old-fashioned gardens, and quite a pretty plant as well. I have fine plants at 25 cts. each. LINARIA cilicia is a good, low-growing Toad Flax, with fine-cut foliage and white flowers. 15 cts. each, $1.25 per doz. LUPINUS polyphyllus is a strong-growing perennial Lupine, with flowers in several shades and handsome foliage. Grouped among tall hardy plants it is excellent. 15 cts. each, $1.25 per doz. LYCHNIS viscaria is quite an attractive plant, growing to a foot or so in height, somewhat in the way of a pink. It is known as the German Catchfly. It has red flowers and thrives in sunny places. 15 cts. each. Lychnis Chalcedonica, or Scarlet Lightning, is a most showy plant, with large heads of brilliant flowers on stems 2 feet in height. It is hardy in any soil, in sun. I sell fine plants at 15 cts. each, $1.25 per doz. Lychnis Haageana grows less than a foot in height, with large, showy flowers in shades of red, scarlet and orange. It is a really beautiful flower for sunny places in open soils. Price, same as last named. LOBELIA cardinalis is excelled by no flower in brilliance of color. Even the leaves are red, and the flowers are a dazzling cardinal. The stems grow from 2 to 3 feet in height, and a mass makes a most brilliant coloring for many weeks in late summer. A fine plant to combine with it in flower and foliage is antirrhinum, Black Prince. It likes rich, moist soil. Good plants that give results the first year at 15c. ea., $1.25 per doz.
