Iris Kaempferi 
These are among the most gorgeous of the entire Iris family. There is nothing more 
showy, and as they blossom after the other Irises have finished flowering, they prolong 
the Iris season by several weeks. There are giant singles and doubles, self colors, mottled, 
striped, and blended effects, subtle soft tints and intense deep colors in a most com- 
prehensive range. Planted in a mass, or as a border, they are ideal. Not the 
least of their fine points is the graceful foliage, a thing of beauty after the 
blooms are past. They are different in form from all other Irises. Many are 
as large as a dinner plate. 
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, and apply manure as 
heavily as possible, for these plantings produce best results. Avoid all lime. 
Once established, they flower profusely year after year.

cool translucent lavender, with markings of mahogany, copper, lemon, orange, brown or Tyrian. 
The Vesper Iris, which is exceedingly easy to grow, blooms for a month, during July and August, when flowers
