14 J. T. LOVETT, LITTLE SILVER, NEW JERSEY German Iris or;Fleur-de-Lis The improved varieties of German Iris, or "Flags," rival choice Orchids in exquisite color and beauty. For more than twenty-five years I have been perfecting my collection of this beautiful spring fiow^er by securing every variety offered, in Europe or America, testing and discarding all that were not distinct and choice; until I am confident the list I offer is unrivalled by that to be had of any other nursery in the United States. German Iris, like Peonies, should be planted in the autumn for best results. GRACCHUS.—Stands lemon; falls delicate straw densely striped with deep wine. H. CRAMER.—Stands deep celestial blue; falls pure Tale blue; tall habit; early. HERANT.—Stands bluish-lilac; falls violet in center and lilac-blue at edge. HER MAJESTY.—Stands lilac; falls wine, shad- ing to white at base and thickly veined wine. LADY STUM PP.—Similar to H. Cramer with both stands and falls of darker shades. LA TENDRE (Edina).—Stands porcelain slightly smoked; falls blue with white at base. LEOPOLD.—Stands smoky lavender; falls light purple, shading to white at base. MAD. CHEREAU (Pecutium).—Stands and falls crimped; white, distinctly edged with rosy-violet. MONTAUK (Queen Victoria).—Stands lemon slightly smoked; falls white and yellow. MRS. CHAS. DARWIN.—Stands pure pearly white; falls white delicately veined with lilac. MRS. CHAS. WHEELER.—Stands light laven- der blue; falls violet, shading to white. PALLIDA SPECIOSA.—Stands violet; falls plum with white at base. QUEEN OF MAY (Rosy Gem).—Stands bright rosy-lilac; falls a shade darker. REBECCA (Honorabiiis, Sans Souci).—Stands golden yellow; falls russet with yellow at base. SAPPHO.—Stands deep blue; falls indigo. SIR ROBERT PEEL (Zephyr) .—Stands light blue; falls darker blue. STRIATA.—Stands bright lemon; falls white edged with light yellow. VIRGIN.—Stands French white slightly shaded with yellow; falls deep purple with white. VIRGIL (Queen of Gypsies).—Stands lavender and much smoked; falls violet. American grown roots, strictly true to name, each 10c.; dozen, $1.00; 100, $6.00. IMPERIAL JAPANESE IRIS IRIS KEAMPFERI. A collection of thirty superb named varieties. Strong roots, each 15c.; doz., $1.50; 100, $10.00. Mixed varieties, each 12c.; doz., $1.25; 100, $8.00. SIBERIAN AND OTHER IRIS PALLIDA DA L MAT ICA.—Belongs to the Ger- man group but is so fine it forms a class of its own. Its flowers are very large, the stands being tender lavender and falls lavender with soft blue. Each 20c.; doz., $2.00. SIBIRICA (Siberian Iris).—Flowers similar in form to those of the German Iris, clear rich blue, but smaller, and are borne on long slender stems in great profusion, just as the Fleur de Lis are fading; elegant and refined; excellent for cutting. A strong grower and very hardy. Each 10c.; doz., $1.00; 100, $6.00. SIBIRICA ORIENTALIS.—Even a more profuse bloomer than the species, with larger flowers of rich velvety violet-purple; flowering about ten days later and for a longer period. Each 10c.; doz., $1.00; 100, $6.00. SNOW QUEEN.—A white form of Iris Sibirica Orientalis with all the refined beauty and lavish profusion of bloom of that grand Iris. The flowers are pure milk white. Each 15c.; doz., $1.50, 100, 510.00.
