Orchid Flowered Japanese Iris 
Kemp's Orchid Flowered 
Japanese Iris 
These beautiful Japanese Irises were originated from hand 
pollenized seed, several years ago, and have been pronouncd by 
expert Iris growers to be the most beautiful collection of Jap¬ 
anese Iris in existence. Therefore, I feel confident we are offer¬ 
ing a strain of Japanese Iris more beautiful and more desirable 
than any hitherto procurable. 
With these wonderfully beautiful Irises, it is now possible to 
achieve a color effect quite equal to that produced with the 
German or Liberty Irises,, and at a time of the year when there 
is a. dearth of bright colors in the Garden, which makes them 
all the more desirable. 
The Japanese Irises are very hardy, and free flowering and will 
grow in almost any situation, where the soil is naturally moist 
and somewhat acid, their natural habitat being along the mar¬ 
gins of ponds and small streams. 
We are offering twenty-two varieties here, embracing quite 
a wide range of color, and the prices at which they are offered 
have been approved by one of America’s leading commercial Iris 
growers, and are for good strong divisions of two or more leads, 
with good roots.
