Dreer's Imperial 



Japanese Iris (••^'sk^'^p*^")- 



The improved forms of this l)eautifjl flower have placed them in the 

 same rank popularly as the Hardy Phloxes and Preonies. 

 Coming into flower about the middle of June and contin- 

 uing for five or six weeks, they fill in a period when 

 flowers of this attractive type are particularly wel- 

 come. 



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 — three- and six-petalled — the six- 

 petalled sorts having the heaviest, showiest flowers 

 while those with three petals are, perhaps, the most artistic. Both 

 are equally valuable as cut flowers, for which purpose they should 

 be cut in the bud state, p)ermitting the blooms to expand after being 

 placed ia water.
