JAPANESE IRIS 



(Iris Kaempferi) 



The Japanese Iris is the most showy and strikingly beautiful 

 of all the large family of Iris ; and very few flowers, the orchid 

 not being excepted, surpass this unique flower in size and gor- 

 geousness and variety of color, which ranges from snow-white to 

 the deepest purple, striped, variegated and multicolored in the 

 greatest profusion of coloring. 



The collection which we offer below is American grown, 

 thoroughly acclimated and hardy and true to color and name, 

 which is rarely evident in the imported Japanese stock. 



The plants we offer are furnished with four to five shoots, and 

 all will flower the first season after planting, guaranteeing an 

 immediate and showy effect. Delivery can be made now (Sep- 

 tember), or any time desired. Early fall planting is recom- 

 mended, however, as it gives the plants an opportunity to get 

 established before frost arrives. 



The Japan Iris will succeed anywhere in a good rich soil, 

 though a moist position is preferable.
