IRIS KAEMPFERI - Japanese Iris 
Iris Kaempferi belong to the most magnificent of our garden flowers, a 
field of them in bloom is a most gorgeous sight. Even a single plant 
growing on the edge of a pool or stream never fails to bring forth 
favorable comment. The foliage is also very ornamental. 
Culture. Late plantings should be protected by a light covering of straw 
or leaves after the ground is permanently frozen to prevent roots from 
being heaved out of ground by frost. Plant in spring or September and 
October. Avoid all lime.

AUTUMN-FLOWERING IRIS PUMILA 
Flowering Two or More Times Each Season 
These autumn-flowering Irises have two or more normal flowering sea¬ 
sons each year. They blossom in the spring along with other early flower¬ 
ing varieties and again in the autumn, beginning in September and con¬ 
tinuing until killed by heavy frosts. Some of them also flower intermit¬ 
tently throughout the year. 
Autumn Queen Each $0.25, Doz. $2.50 
This is a reliable spring and fall bloomer. A pure snow white. It belongs 
almost in the same class as Jean Siret and Lieut. Chavagnac so far as 
size and height is concerned, but is a little larger and a little taller. 
Black Magic Each $1.00, Doz. $10.00 
It produces from 3 to 6 flowering stalks to each plant in September, as 
well as flowering in May. It is more free flowering in September than 
almost any Iris is during the regular season. Furthermore, it begins to 
flower long ahead of all the other fall bloomers and has a very long 
season of bloom, running from 4 to 6 weeks. As it starts to flower 
early, it is not killed by frost. It also is the largest and tallest of all 
the fall bloomers, being about 30 inches high. The flower is almost 
black. 
Golden Flarvest Each $0.50, Doz. $5.00 
A fine large deep yellow veined with red-gold on the falls. A reliable 
spring and fall bloomer everywhere. This variety is quite scarce. 
Jean Siret Each $0.35, Doz. $3.50 
This variety and Lieut. Chavagnac are the most persistent bloomers of 
the Iris family. They begin to flower quite early in the spring with the 
earliest miniatures and have a long spring flowering season. They also 
have an equally long autumn flowering season. We have had them in 
bloom from September until the middle of December in a favorable year. 
Lieut. Chavagnac Each $0.35, Doz. $3.50 
A new everblooming fragrant violet-colored variety, with the same 
qualities as Jean Siret. The two go well together. 
Olive White Each $0.40, Doz. $4.00 
This is a good cream-colored spring and fall bloomer.
