IRIS KAEMPFERI—Japanese Iris 
Iris Kaempferi belong to the most magnificent of our 
garden flowers, a field of them in bloom is a most gor¬ 
geous sight. Even a single plant growing on the edge 
of a pool or stream never fails to bring forth favorable 
comment. The foliage is also very ornamental. Seeing 
them for the first time, one cannot withhold an excla¬ 
mation of surprise and having once seen can never for¬ 
get their striking beauty. The collection offered below 
is one of the finest and most distinct in this country; 
many growers have come to us for their stock. 
Culture. Late plantings should be protected by a light 
covering of straw or leaves after the ground is per¬ 
manently frozen to prevent roots from being heaved out 
of ground by frost. Plant in spring or September and 
October. Avoid all lime.
