IlilS 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. 

 October 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.
