IRIS K/EMPFERI ( JAPANESE IRIS) 
Iris Hybrida Pumiia. 
An entirely new race of Iris, which has been obtained by cross- 
ing the early dwarf flowering varieties of Pumila with the best 
large flowered forms of Iris Germanica. Their period of bloom- 
ing is a trifle later than the Pumila section, with flowers almost 
as large and fully as showy and attractive in color as the Ger- 
man Iris. They are, no doubt, the forerunners of what is likely 
to prove an important addition to our list of early flowering 
Iris, not only for use in the hardy border, but which should also 
prove valuable for early forcing. 
Cyanea. Rich royal purple, with blackish shadings ; a fine 
flower, on stems 6 to 8 inches high. 
Eburna. Pure white, with creamy-white shading ; grows 6 
to 8 inches high. ‘ 
Florida. A beautiful lemon-yellow, with deeper shadings, 10 
to 12 inches high. 
Formosa. Upper petals deep violet-blue, lower petals light 
violet; a pretty flower ; Io to 12 inches. 
15 cents each; $1.50 per dozen ; $12.00 per 100.

summer flowering plants, and are destined to become more 
popular every season. They commence blooming about the 
middle of June, and continue in flower for five or six weeks. 
Many of these flowers measure from I0 to 12 inches in diameter, 
and rival the orchids in their rich colorings and markings. We
