Japanese Iris (iris Kaempferi) 



The improved forms of this beautiful flower have placed them in the same rank popularly as the 

 Hardy Phloxes and Peonies. Coming into flower about the middle of June, and continuing for 

 3 to 4 weeks they fill in a period when flowers of this attractive type are particularly welcome. 



They succeed in almost any soil and position, but like rich soil and plenty of water. Valuable 

 as cut flowers, for which purpose they should be cat in the bud state.
