IRIS KAEMPFERI 
Japanese Iris 
We are repeating to you we are continuing the propagation of this specialty, producing plants of superior quality. 
We have maintained our up-to-date cultivation and kept up our plantings of all the outstanding good varieties. In order 
to take care of our customers who are annually listing Japanese Iris in their catalogs, we must produce these on a large 
scale. This method of growing makes it possible for us to offer to our smaller buyers real good varieties of Japanese Iris at 
reasonable prices. Accordingly, we ask that you take advantage of our low prices. We are sure that you will find every 
plant offered a good bargain. 
We wish to state we annually make purchases of all the newer introductions. From these we select only what in our 
opinion are worthy of cultivation. You may rest assured any variety selected from this catalog is a good worthwhile sort. 
You will be proud of your purchase when the first crop of flowers appears.
