Japanese Iris 
Japanese Iris 
IRIS KAEMPFERI. Last of the wonder¬ 
ful Iris procession in point of season; but 
for size of plant and flowers, shapeliness, 
richness of coloring-, beauty of pattern, 
and splendor of general effect, is un¬ 
questionably accorded first. The flowers 
are generally rather flat and wide, often 
measuring 10 to 12 inches across, appear¬ 
ing in great profusoin during June and 
July after the Germans are through. We 
honestly believe this assortment of ours 
to be the best selection and best color- 
balanced group which can be found. Give 
good, rich, light soil, plenty of water, and 
frequent cultivation. The following va¬ 
rieties are arranged according to their 
relative blooming season, and consequent¬ 
ly so numbered. 
Price—With exception noted; by mail 
postpaid: Each, 35c; 3 for $1.00; doz. $3.50. 
1—GEKKA - NO - NAMI. (Waves under 
Moonlight). Earliest to bloom, and very 
free. Glistening white with creamy white 
stigmas. 
2— KOKI-NO-IRO. (Purple and Gold). 
Enormous double flowers often ten inches 
across, early and free-blooming; one of 
the very best varieties. Color, rich violet- 
purple with white petaloids tipped violet. 
The conspicuous golden throat extends 
outwards in sharp bluish-white rays.

petaled flowers of largest size, on the 
longest stems. Color, coerulean blue with 
golden center and white halo from which 
radiate many clear white lines. Stand¬ 
ards white, tipped blue. This variety 
covers the longest blooming season and is 
altogether one of the most attractive. 
4 — ZAM A- NO- MORI. Larger than a ma¬ 
jority of varieties, although only three- 
petaled; one of the daintiest and most 
delightful of the delicate toned kinds.
