Dreer's Imperial 

 Japanese Iris (» Kaempfen) 



The improved forms of this beautiful flower have placed them in the 

 same rank popularly as the Hardy Phloxes and Pseonies. Coming into 

 flower about the middle of June and continuing for five or six weeks, 

 they fill in a period when flowers of this attiactive type 

 are particularly welcome. 



They succeed in almost any soil and position, but re- 

 spond quickly to liberal treatment. They like rich soil 

 and plenty of water when they are forming their buds 

 and developing 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. 



We offer one of the choicest collections, each one dis- 

 tinct and desirable.
