 bloom from the end of May on through June.

>J DREER'S IMPERIAL 



JAPANESE IRIS (W. Kaempferl) 



The improved forms of this beautiful flower have placed 

 them in the same rank popularly as the Hardy Phloxes and 

 Peonies. Coming into Rower about the middle of June, 

 and continuing for five or six weeks, they fill in a period 

 when flowers of this attractive type are particularly welcome. 

 \ They succeed in almost any soil and position, but 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.
