JAPANESE IRIS 



{Iris Kaempfeu) 



The Japanese Iris is the most showy and strikingly beautiful of all 

 the large familvof Iris; and very fow ilovvers, the orchid not being 

 excepted, surpass this unique llowtr in size and gorgeousness and 

 variety of color, which ranges from snow-white to the deepest purple, 

 striped, variegated and multicolored in tlie greatest profusion of 

 coloring. 



Tlie collections which we offer below are American grown, thor- 

 oughly acclimated and hardy and true to color and name, which is 

 rarely evident in the imported Japanese stock. 



The pl.iiits we offer are furnished with four to five shoots, and all 

 will flower tlie first season after plantiivg, guaranteeing an immediate 

 and showv effect. Delivery can be made now or any time desired. 

 Early fall planting is recommended, however, as it gives the plants 

 an opportunity to get established before the severe weather sets in. 



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

 moist position is preferable.
