Iris Kaemyferi JAPANESE IRIS 
HE ancient poets called their Iris, Ground Rainbows; also Children of the Gods. A promise from 
them that beauty on earth would ever be. The finest of all their varieties is the Kaempferi which 
we offer you in a wide choice of colors. Not the least of their fine points is the graceful foliage. A thing 
of beauty after the blooms are past. 
Planted in a mass, or as a border, they are ideal. A few edging a reflecting pool or stream, is some: 
thing to remember. No matter how fine your Iris collection may be, not to have these Jap ones, is to 
deprive yourself of something that will make it complete. 
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 the ground by frost. Plant in spring 
or September and October. Avoid all lime.
