118 MICHELL’S SUPERB IRIS 
IRIS KAEMPFERI (Japanese Iris) 
The King of all Iris and in popularity they can be classed with 
the hardy Phlox and Peonies; coming into flower about the middle 
of June, they continue for five or six weeks and are particularly 
welcome at this time. They succeed in almost any soil and like 
plenty of water when forming their flower buds.
