In describing; the varieties of Iris Kaempferi we have given the prominent colours only— a detailed description 
of each flower would occupy too much space ; for example, a flower may be rich claret on the margin of the 
petals, and shade up to violet, terminated by an intense blue halo surrounding the invariable yellow or orange 
blotch, which is partially overlapped by the petaloid stigma, while the short standards may probably be of a 
different colour to the petals.

IRIS K^MPFERI, UNBLOOMED SEEDLINGS FROM VON SIEBOLD. 
1089 Unbloomed Seedlings, two years old ; these we acquired from Mr. P. F. Von Siebold, as raised 
from his finest Japanese varieties, and with the assurance that fine sorts might be expected. Three 
have flowered with us this year, and were fine, so that we expect that purchasers will have no 
reason to be dissatisfied with the results. 
Plants according to strength per dozen, 12^. & 18 o 
IRIS k;emfferi species. 
We suppose the following three plants to be the natural or wild species, and on this account they are full 
of interest as representing the starting point from which the Japanese gardeners have evidently worked for many 
generations to attain such a degree of excellence as is exhibited in Imperatrix and Schoene Wienerin, and also 
in the other beautiful sorts which we offer. Althougli most of the fine varieties quoted by us were first flowered 
in our Experimental Grounds, they were raised from advanced Japanese varieties by our friend Mr. Leichtlin. 
A careful study of the varieties of Iris Kaempferi shows a gradual development in the size of flower, 
variation and combination of colours, which the three species offered below would naturally give in the hands of 
careful hybridizers, which the Japanese gardeners undoubtedly are. Anyone, however, desirous of raising new 
varieties of this splendid Iris would do well to take advantage of the work already done, both by the Japanese 
and our friend Mr. Leichtlin, and use the high class kinds above quoted, and their labours will, no doubt, be 
amply rewarded.
