Dreer's Imperial Japanese Iris. 



(Iris Kaempferi. i 



The improved form-; of lliis beautiful flower have placed them in the same rank popularly as the Hardy Phloxes and Paeonies. 

 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 respond 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 and largest collections, each one distinct and desirable. These are divided into two classes — tliree- 

 and six-petalled — the six-petalled sorts having the heaviest, showiest flowers, while those with the three petals are, perhajjs, the 

 most artistic. Both are equally 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.
