PETER HENDERSON & CO., 35 Cortlandt Street, NEW YORK 21 
New Large Flowering Japan Iris Iris Kaempferi 
The magnificence of these new Irises surpasses description. The 
flowers are of enormous size, averaging 6 to 8 inches across, and of 
indescribable and charming hues and colors, varying like watered silk 
in the sunlight, the prevailing colors being white, crimson, rose, lilac, 
lavender, violet and blue; each flower usually representing several 
shades, while a golden-yellow blotch, surrounded by a halo of blue or 
violet, at the base of the petals intensifies the "wealth of coloring. The 
Japan Iris besides being very free flowering is perfectly hardy and grows 
readily in almost any aituation, either sunny or partially shady; but 
the soil should be moist and the plants well supplied with water when 
flowering. They bloom in great profusion in June and throughout July, 
coming into bloom when other Irises are faded and gone. Ready 
September 15 to November 15. (See illustration.)
