IRIS K^EMPFERI. 



IRIS-FLEUR=DE=LIS. 



An old favorite, too well known to need any 

 description. All the varieties are beautiful and 

 very effective in the garden or greenhouse. They 

 may be very successfully grown in pots. The 

 soil used should be of a light, rich nature. Octo- 

 ber is the best time in which to plant or pot them. 

 Those planted in the garden should be lightly 

 covered to protect them from severe frosts.
