IMPERIAL JAPANESE IRIS 

 (Iris Kaempferi) 



These are undoubtedly the most valuable of 

 all the Iris. They are in make up and color 

 quite similar to rare orchids. In 1890 I received 

 direct from the Imperial Gardens of Japan, ove: 

 two hundred and fifty varieties of the Japanese 

 Iris. These I increased until I now have acres 

 of them; comprising, doubtless, one of the finest 

 stocks in America of these truly royal hardy 

 flowers. The following list has been selected 

 from those received from Japan, after careful 

 testing, to which are added a few of the choicest 

 varieties introduced by other growers.

 deep violet plum or indigo purple throughout.

 with lavender and with satiny luster.

 Iris bed I find the same 'Lovett Smile' ; you people send 

 the best stock at the most reasonable price than the other 

 four concerns I have formerly dealt with." — Walter A.

 all coming. My little place, 50 x 150, is fascinating, thanks 

 to Monmouth Nursery."
