These are among the most gorgeous of the entire Iris family. There is nothing more showy than 
these fine Japanese Iris and as they blossom after the others have finished flowering, they thus 
prolong the Iris season for several weeks. There are giant singles and doubles, self colors, mot¬ 
tled, striped and blended effects, subtle soft tints and intense deep colors in a most compre¬ 
hensive range. They are different in form from all other Irises. Many of them are as large as 
a dinner plate. Some of those listed below have never been offered by me before, having 
never until now had sufficient stock to list them. No flower garden should be without a collec¬ 
tion of these gorgeous Japanese Iris. 
Anyone may be successful with them by following simple cultural directions ascompanying 
all shipments. 
Every variety in this group of Japanese Iris is of superb quality. If you wish me to 
select the varieties for your order I will be glad to do so, and I am sure you will be more than 
pleased with my selection. 
Planting and cultural directions accompany all shipments. 
On the very fine group of Japanese Iris on this page I am making a uniform price of 
35c each; $3.75 a dozen; or 100 for $25.00.
