JAPANESE IRIS (Kaempferi) 
Plant now for summer bloom. Colorful, Striking, 
Artistic, Distinctive 
Their tall slender bladed deep green foliage is graceful and deco¬ 
rative and lends itself beautifully to landscape effects. They are 
fascinating planted around the garden pool or in front of tall 
growing shrubbery or in mass where they present a picture as 
richly hued as a marvelous tapestry. They come into bloom usually 
in July and the secret of successful growth is to keep the ground 
well stirred, never allowing it to bake. They will thrive in any 
good garden soil. Set of 3 for 70c.

est to bloom. 30c each.

edging or planting in front of the taller kinds and both bloom very 
early, through April and May usually. All are delightfully fragrant. 
Offered in four colors: Blue, yellow, white and purple. 25c each; 
set of 4 for 75c.
