HENRY A. DREER, PHILADELPHIA, PA., WHOLESALE PRICE LIST 47 
JAPANESE IRIS 
The improved forms of this beautiful flower have placed them in 
the same rank popularly as the Hardy Phloxes and Pzonias. Com- 
ing into flower about the middle of June and continuing for five 
or six weeks, they fill ina period when flowers of this attractive 
type are particularly welcome. 
They succeed in almost any soil and position, but respond quickly 
to liberal treatment, rich soil and plenty of water, when they are 
forming their buds and developing their flowers. 
We offer fifty-six varieties; one of the choicest and largest col- 
lections ever offered; each one distinct and desirable. These are 
divided into two classes three and six petaled; the six-petaled sorts 
having the heaviest showiest flowers, while those with three petals 
are perhaps, the most artistic. Both are equally valuable as cut 
flowers for which purpose they should be cut in the bud state, per- 
mitting the blooms to expand after being placed in water.
