Iris Kaempferi • 
JAPANESE IRIS MIXED 
Sometime ago, a specialist and hybridizer offered 
us his surplus of unnamed seedlings—some so unique 
and beautiful as to be well worth naming and offer¬ 
ing separately. To these we added other good vari¬ 
eties of which the labels had become lost in the 
nursery. The entire lot is offered to you in this mix¬ 
ture—a truly superb combination of the finest blood.
