DREER'S IMPERIAL 



JAPANESE IRIS 



(Iris Kaempferi) 



The improved forms of this beautiful flower have placed them 

 in the same rank popularly as the Hardy Phloxes and Pseonies. 

 Coming into flower about the middle of June and continuing for 

 five or six weeks, they fill in a period when flowers of this attrac- 

 tive type are particularly welcome. 



They succeed in almost any soil and position, but re- 

 respond quickly to liberal treatment. They 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. 



We offer one of the choicest collections, each one dis- 

 tinct and desirable.
