DREER’S IMPERIAL 
JAPANESE IRIS (Iris Kzempferi) 
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 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.
