 Iris 



''Richmond'' 



In keeping with the Cooley pohcj^ of procuring the newest and best, we have secured stock 

 of a new strain of these gorgeous irises, the finest ever produced in this country. We refer to 

 the "Kemp's Orchid Flowered Japs", listed and described below. While they have been avail- 

 able through a very limited number of sources for the past couple of seasons, stock is still very 

 scarce and they have found their way into but few gardens. For size, delicacy of colorings and 

 vigorous growth, they leave nothing to be desired. As will be noted in the descriptions, many 

 of them run to shades of pink, rose, pale blue, gray and lilac. Can you imagine anything more 

 lovely ?
