Imperial Japanese IRIS (iris Kaempferi) 



The Jaj)anese Iris may truly be called the aristocrat of the family. Of stately habit, of color combina- 

 tions as rare as they are beautiful, they differ from the Liberty Iris in being of greater size, while the flowers 

 are carried at the head of the stem rather than disposed around the stem. Moreover, their blooming season 

 extends over almost a month, prolonging the Iris season for the best part of two weeks. 



The varieties which we offer were selected by Professor Georgeson in Japan, and are, we honestly 

 believe, as fine as any obtainable anywhere.

 open milk-white petals, deep yellow at base. 



Peacock — Nine large overlapping petals; violet 

 purple, veined with white.
