AUTUMN, 1923 • PLANT HARDY PERENNIALS THIS FALL 



HARDY PERENNIALS, continued 



Grand Japanese Iris 



Iris Kaempjeri grandiflora 



The grandest of all hardy Iris. The flowers are 

 enormous, averaging from 8 to lo inches across, and of 

 most gorgeous and exquisite colors, each flower usually 

 showing several shades. They bloom during June and 

 July, and grow 2 to 3 feet high. If possible, give them a 

 moist soil, but this is not absolutely necessary as they 

 thrive in any location that is not too dry. These 

 aristocratic Irises are a source of great delight to anyone 

 who plants them and when once established they in- 

 crease rapidly.
