IRIS INTERMEDIATE VARIETIES. 
The varieties in this group are the result of crosses, between the early miniature and the later 
blooming tall Bearded Iris. The crossing of these two groups, gives us a race that is "inter¬ 
mediate" in height as well as in blooming season. They come into bloom just when the early 
miniatures are finishing and continue right into the season of the tall Bearded Iris. The 
varieties in this section are very fine for the border, in front of the taller blooming varieties. 
The individual flowers are as large, and as fine as the later flowering Iris. All Intermediate 
Iris can be supplied in either small or large plants.

IRIS LAEVIGATA (Kaempferi) Japanese Iris. 
These Iris belong to the most magnifi¬ 
cent of our garden flowers. The flowers 
are in a wonderful color range, vivid yet 
harmonious; all the shades of the rainbow 
seem to have been gathered in the most 
fascinating combinations.. The great size 
of the flowers is noteworthy, being 8 to ° 
inches across while often they reach the 
enormous size of P to 12 inches across. A 
bed of these in bloom is a magnificent 
sight, even a single plant on the edge of 
a pool brings forth favorable comment. The 
foliage is also ornamental. 
Culture: They en 0 oy almost unlimited 
quantities of fertilizer and swampy ground 
but any good, well drained soil will en¬ 
courage sturdy growth during the dry sea¬ 
son. They come into bloom right after the 
German Iris and are at their best in July.
