NcW Doable Iris Kaentpferi. 
A wood cut of this si/. 13 cannot properly snow those j 
new Iris, therefore we have prepared a magnificent stipple 
lithograph in 18 colors, size l#x33 inches, eight times larger | 
than this page, anil showing flowers in natural size and j 
colors. It is a magnificent picture, anil we will supply it in I 
rollers by mail, free of charge, if 10 c. is sent to pay cost of 
paokingand postage. Write for it at once anil get your 
friends to do the same. When seen, everybody will want. it. 1 
These new iris from Japan rival the lily in stateliness, 
the pioonyin majestic beauty, the. orchid in marvelous deli¬ 
cacy and blending of colors, the chrysanthemum in profu- 1 
eion, and surpasses almost every plant, iuthesizeanil Kingly 
magnificence of its (lowers. Think of a plant sending up to 
the height of tnree feet a dozen flower spikes, each spike 
hearing from two to four enormous blossoms eight or ten I 
inches across and of the most delicate and beautiful colors, I 
markings and combinations. Think of a bed of all colors. | 
white, indigo, violet, lavender, mauve, sky-blue, royal pur¬ 
ple, blush, yellow, etc. Your imagination can conceive of 
nothing grander, and when you see them you will realize [ 
that they are infinitely more grand and beautiful than your . 
imagination could portray'. Such are these new double Iris j 
Kaompferi, the king of hardy perennial plants. Once plant¬ 
ed in your garden they are a Joy for a lifetime without
