I MPORTED from the land of the rising sun (the Far East), grown in the land of the setting 
sun (the Far West), and shipped to flower lovers in every one of the forty-eight states where 
plants of this beautiful and distinctive Iris species can be grown successfully. 
Japanese Iris are increasing in popularity each season as their merits are becoming better 
known. Contrary to general belief, this species is easily grown in nearly all parts of the United 
States. They thrive best in an acid soil which may be obtained by mixing a handful of sulphate 
of ammonia into the ground around each plant. Watering before and during the blooming season 
will promote growth and flowers, and watering during the summer months will promote a more 
vigorous foliage. Order these plants with your bearded varieties. 
The blooming season is several weeks later than the tall bearded and they are thus valuable 
to use in extending the flowering season. The flowers are large and beautiful, borne on tall stalks, 
and make excellent cut flowers. You will find these plants among the most beautiful and satis¬ 
factory of blooming perennials. 
Lack of space makes it impossible for us to follow our custom of past years and give detailed 
descriptions of our fifty varieties—the finest sorts grown in America. We have never priced 
these varieties at less than 50c each; every one of them is a garden jewel. If you have no Japanese 
Iris, by all means make a trial planting of one of our collections. You will be delighted with the 
results obtained.
