JULY FLOWERING IRIS 

Summenr-Blooming Iria “Ka 

Regad, Majestic, Gorgesus 
The Summer’s Crown Jewels 
XOTIC looking, in colors and contour—bizarre 
perhaps at first glance—fantastic in its effect against 
a background of more conventional flowers of the 
beds and borders, Iris Kaempferi becomes quickly 
one of the familiar spirits of the garden, just as a rare, 
precious, and exquisite bit of Oriental enamel, embroidery, 
or carving may insinuate itself into a homely and common- 
place scene to glorify it and become the dominant note of 
an accomplished harmony. 
The splendid, robust Bearded Iris was my first love, in 
my early days of floriculture, as all my old friends know 
so well; but if I were exiled to a desert island or a wilderness 
with “a book of verses underneath the bough, a jug of 
wine”—and perhaps just one exquisite flower for the 
nourishment of the senses, my choice—it is already made! 
I should take this great and noble Iris for companion and 
comforter. My collection of these gems absolutely is peer- 
less, and the newest, rarest, and finest are ready for my 
customers. These are all grown in the United States at my 
spacious nursery in New Jersey and will be sent to you 
direct from there.

IRISES That Bloom 
In August 
IRIS DICHOTOMA 
Out of Northern China and Manchuria, the altogether 
lovely August-flowering Iris Dichotoma, also known as 
“The Vesper Iris,” pours its bounty into the lap of summer 
from spreading clumps of delicate, slender stems, from 
thirty inches to a yard in height. And those thin but sturdy 
stalks send forth branches of their own, and it is nothing 
unusual for one plant to yield more than a hundred blooms 
in one short season, when the clumps have become estab- 
lished. As Morning Glories are flowers of the dawn, Iris 
Dichotoma opens at mid-afternoon—precisely at three, 
with astonishing regularity (you can set your watch by it) 
and gives you a fresh crop of its picturesque blooms every 
day for several weeks, It is one of the newest members of 
the great Iris family to appear in American gardens, and 
everywhere it has met with the reception accorded all such 
sensational discoveries.

it appears to require frost, here in our 
latitude, to form buds and open its IRIS 
flowers, and it has endured sub-zero 
weather in my own garden without 
injury. 
Oddly enough, the rare and interesting Iris Stylosa which blooms 
in our American Winter, is native to Algeria, Asia Minor, and 
Northern Syria. With curious independence it refuses to conform 
to a change in seasonal schedules, and our bleak season of ice and 
snow does not alter its determination. It will not flower in summer- 
time, but sends forth its lovely blue blossoms in the winter months, 
beginning in December—in cold frames or sheltered nooks in the 
Northern States, but out of doors in 
Virginia and farther South. Actually | Winter Flowering Iris
