DREER’S IMPERIAL 5 
JAPANESE IRIS ris Kaempferi) 
The improved forms of this beautiful flower have placed them in the 
same rank popularly as the Hardy Phloxes and Peonies. Coming into 
flower about the middle of June, and continuing for five or six weeks, 
they fill in a period when flowers of this attractive type 
are particularly welcome. 
They succeed in almost any soil and position, but like 
rich soil and plenty of water when they are forming their 
buds and developing their flowers. : 
Valuable as cut flowers, for which purpose they should 
be cut in the bud state, permitting the blooms to expand 
after being placed in water.
