IRIS KAEMPFERI 
Japanese Iris 
We are continuing the propagation of this specialty, producing plants of superior quality. We have maintained our 
up-to-date cultivation and kept up our plantings of all the outstanding good varieties. In order to take care of our cus 
tomers who are annually listing Japanese Iris in their catalogs, we must produce these on a large scale. This method of 
growing makes it possible for us to offer to our smaller buyers real good varieties of Japanesel Iris at reasonable prices. 
Accordingly, we ask that you take advantage of our low prices. We are sure that you will find every plant offered a good 
bargain. 
We wish to state we annually make purchases of all the newer introductions. From these we select only what in our 
opinion are worthy of cultivation. You may rest assured any variety selected from this catalog is a good worthwhile sort. 
You will be proud of your purchase when the first crop of flowers appears.
