TES HARDY DERENNIAL- PLANTS: |{/T] 
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 Pzonies. 
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- 
spond quickly to liberal treatment. They like rich soil 
and plenty of water when they are forming their buds and 
} developing their flowers. 
We offer one of the choicest coliections, each one dis- 
tinct and desirable. 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.
