Imperial Japanese IRIS 



Iris Kaempferi 



Nothing among hardy flowers is more truly 

 grand than Imperial Japanese Iris. They begin 

 to flower about the middle of June and continue 

 for a month. 



Most of the varieties in our collection were 

 selected by Prof. Georgeson in Japan, and we 

 believe them to be as fine as it is possible to se- 

 cure anywhere at any price.

 20c; dozen, $2.00; 100, $12.00. 



LIBERTY IRIS 



(Iris Germanica, Fleur de Lis — the national 

 Flower of France.) 

 It would be difficult to surpass, in form or variety 

 of exquisite colors, these varieties of Iris; for almost 

 any color, except bright red, can be found among 

 them. They invariably flower in profusion and are 

 so hardy and sturdy they succeed with very little 

 care. All are splendid for use as cut flowers, in ad- 

 dition to their value for lawn adornment. The up- 

 right petals are termed "stands"; the droop- 

 ing ones, "falls." 



A Cultural Hint — Most planters set Iris roots 

 too deeply. They should be so placed that the neck 

 of the root is just level with the surface.
