DREER'S IMPERIAL 



JAPANESE IRIS (ins Kaempferi) 

 The improved forms of this beautiful flowe/ have placed them in 

 the same rank popularly as the Haidy Phloxes and Peonies. Com- 

 ing into flower about the middle of June, and continuing for five 

 or six 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 when they are forming their buds and develop- 

 ing their flowers. 



Valuable as cut flowers, for which purpose they should be cut in 

 the bud state, permitting the blooms to expand after being placed 



in water.
