Iris Kaempferi • Japanese Iris 



These gorgeous Irises are the most delicately beau- 

 tiful of all our summer-flowering plants. They com- 

 mence flowering late in June, a time when hardy flowers 

 are most welcome. They thrive in any garden soil, 

 but respond generously to a rich soil and plenty of 

 water. Beds of Japanese Iris are easiest to handle if 

 slightly countersunk. The following list comprises the 

 most attractive varieties.
