Iris laevigata ( Kaempferi ) 
Japanese Iris 
These Irises have flowers of all the shades of the 
rainbow in the most fascinating combinations. It is 
not at all unusual to have blooms 6to 12 inches across. 
Unlike the German Iris, they enjoy almost un¬ 
limited quantities of fertilizer and swampy ground 
but any good, well-drained soil will encourage sturdy 
growth and amazing blooms if they are given plenty 
of water during the dry season. They bloom after 
the German Iris and are at their best in July.

one kind, $4 for 10 of one kind, $35 per 100
