Iris Kaempferi—Japanese Iris 
IRIS SPURIA 
(Finest Iris for Cut Flowers.) These ore so different from all other 
Beardless Species and Hybrids as to deserve a separate sub-division. The 
flowers are quite unlike all other Irises, and are very artistic, making 
exquisite cut flowers for which purpose they are used extensively by 
florists. They are hardy anywhere. While not indispensable to their 
success, they prefer a moist spot and make a most imposing effect in 
the garden.

center of each fall. It will grow 3 feet tall, forms a good clump of nice

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 streom 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 oil lime.

IRIS STYLOSA (Winter Flowering Iris) 
Iris Stylosa cannot be made to flower during the summer, no matter 
what you may do, but it persists in flowering during the winter months 
in the north in the protection of a cold frame. In the south they bloom 
out-of-doors during the winter months. Contrary to all normal rules, 
they seem to require a slight frost to form their flower buds and moke 
them break out into blossom, their flowering period usually beginning 
during December and continuing throughout the winter months.
