^ris 0{.aempfen Japanese Iris 
Iris Kaempferi belong to the most magnificent of our garden flow¬ 
ers, 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.

Several Crowns 
These autumn-flowering Irises have two or more normal flowering

intermittently throughout the year.

IRIS SPURIA 
(Finest Iris for Cut Flowers.) These are 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 ore 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 
clean foliage. A fine plant for a damp spot in the border. Excellent for 
cutting also.

rich moist soil it will grow 5 feet or more. The flowers have pure white 
standards while the falls are yellow with a quarter-inch margin of white.

Shelford Giant Each $0.50, Doz. $5.00
