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 

 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 like ricli 

 soil and plenty of water when they are forming their buds 

 and developing their flowers. 



Valuable as cut flowers, for which purpose they 

 should he cut in the bud state, permitting the blooms 

 to expand after being placed in water. 



Order by name or number

SHER^VIN-1¥RIGHT 



In this grand novelty we have what has long been wanted, a good 

 vigorous growing, free-flowering, golden yellow Iris Germanica, the 

 few yellow sorts now in commerce being deficient in these important 

 characteristics. The plants grow about two feet high; the flowers, 

 which are produced in lavish profusion, are of splendid 

 texture and stand well above the foliage, and are of a 

 rich golden yellow without markings or shadings. (See 

 cut.) 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz.; $3o.00 per 100.

 Germanica. The flowers combine perfection of form 

 with large size and clear and decided colors. The foli-

 season. The flower stems are about 18 inches high, 

 holding the flowers well above the foliage.
