Dreer's Imperial Japanese Iris 



These magnificent Iris are among the most beautiful of our hardy early-summer flowering plants and are destined to become as 

 popular as the hardy Phlox and Paeonies. They are valuable not only as decorative flowering subjects for the garden, but are also 

 very useful as cut flowers. 



Our stock of Japanese Iris is very extensive in a splendid assortment of home-grown varieties and can be relied upon for being 

 true to name and description. We supply these in strong liberal divisions of a most satisfactory planting size.
