KAEMPFERI 
(,Japanese Iris) 
S BEAUTIFUL AS or¬ 
chids, the Japanese Iris 
are among the most im¬ 
portant of the hardy peren¬ 
nials. Flowering in July, they 
are of easy culture, growing 
splendidly in a sunny position 
in any ordinarily good garden 
soil. These Iris are especially 
effective planted at the edge of 
the pool or along a stream. 
When established, they attain 
a height of about 3 feet with 
flowers in a wide variety of 
color as large as 8 inches across. 
All have a gold streak toward 
the base of the petals. The 
graceful, grassy foliage is at¬ 
tractive even when the plants 
are not in bloom. The 3-petaIed 
varieties are more artistic and 
equally as beautiful as the 
6-petaIed kinds, for the reason 
that those with 3 petals make 
up in size what they lack in 
number. When planted in fall, 
they should be well mulched 
after the first hard frost.
