to the mercury compound with

The mention of iris means, in the
minds of a large number of people,
the tall bearded varieties, the most
used and popular of this large fam
lily. But by making the acquaintance
of some Of its lesser used members,
the bloom season can be heightened
astonishingly, even to the inclusion
of a winter blooming variety.
The iris season begins early In this
latitude, sometimes in March and
always in April with the blooming of
the dwarf varieties, but their use is
very limited, principally to the rock
garden. where they make surpris-
ing little patches of color often be-
fore the gardener is ready for his

For New Lawn

If you are going to make a new
lawn, or replant the old one, you
should begin your preparations as
