HENDERSON'S AUTUMN BULB CATALOGUE— 1929 



NEW LARGE FLOWERING 



JAPAN IRIS 



Iris Kaempferi 



The magnificence of these new Irises surpasses 

 description. The flowers are of enormous size, averag- 

 ing 6 to 8 inches across, and of indescribable and charm- 

 ing hues- and colors, varying like watered silk in the 

 sunlight, the prevailing colors being white, crimson, 

 rose, lilac, lavender, violet and blue: each flower usually 

 representing several shades, while a golden-yellow 

 blotch, surrounded by a halo of blue or violet, at the 

 base of the petals intensifies the wealth of coloring. 

 The Japan Iris besides being very free flowering is per- 

 fectly hardy and grows readily in almost any situation, 

 either sunny or partially shady: but the soil should be 

 moist and the plants well supplied with water when 

 flowering. They bloom in great profusion in June and 

 throughout July, coming into bloom when other Irises 

 are faded and gone. After the ground freezes over a 

 light mulch of litter of manure will prevent heaving of 

 the ground and a consequent loss of plants. Ready 

 September 15 to November 15.
