JAPANESE IRIS 
Japanese Iris are increasing in popularity as garden 
fg>'ir!'iV \* r / lovers realize their many advantages. They bloom in 
\ o- inner/ j ate j une a nd early July, long after the German (Tall 
Bearded) Iris are gone. The unique flat'topped flow' 
ers are of enormous size. 
They form masses of gorgeous color and are extremely useful 
for cutting. Japanese Iris will make a splendid background for 
your lily pool. 
Unless otherwise requested, we will ship the roots in Sep- 
tember, which we regard as the ideal time for planting Japanese 
and other Iris. This enables them to become well established 
before freezing weather.
