HENDERSONS AUTUMN BULB CATALOGUE— 1925 



(IRIS KAEMPFERI) 



There are very few denizens of the flower garden that can compare with the Japan 

 Iris for brilliancy, and it is worthy of a prominent place in every garden. The flowers 

 average S to 10 inches across, and flash like watered silk in the sunlight. 



The Japan Iris besides being ver>' free flowering is perfectly hardy and grows readily 

 in almost any situation, 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 

 which to most flowers lovers is an additional recommendation. After the ground freezes 

 over a light mulch of litter or manure irill prevent hea\Tiig of the ground and a con- 

 sequent loss of plants. Ready September 15 to November 15.

German Iris or Fleur-de-lis 



(IRIS GERMANICA) 

 These, the true Fleur-de-Lis — but greatly improved — are well termed "Garden 

 Orchids" and they fairly outrival the orchids in wide range of coloring — both in dainty 

 combinations and rich and vivid colors including yellows from light canary to deep 

 golden; blues from soft lavendar to intense purples; reds from pinkish mauve to claret 

 and maroon, beautiful bronzes and pure whites then some are marked and margined 

 with other colors in exquisite harmony, and all have showy j-ellow or orange crests or 

 beards. For garden and landscape decoration — groups and masses of them are very 

 eSective being perfectly hardy. 



Our collection contains many choice varieties, and we are confident they wU prove 

 revelations of beauty to Iris lovers. The roots should be dinded and implanted every 

 fourth year in September as the plants are then dormant. The roots are ready for ship- 

 ment from Sept, 15 to IS'ov, 15,
