MICHELL’S SUPERB IRIS 
IRIS KAEMPFERI (Japanese Iris) 
The King of all Iris and in popularity they can be classed with 
the hardy Phlox and Peonies; coming into flower about the 
middle of June, they continue for five or six weeks and are par¬ 
ticularly welcome at this time. They succeed in almost any soil 
and like plenty of water when forming their flower buds.
