ORIENTAL IRIS : Iris Kaempteri 
“The Hardy Garden Orchid” 
These summer-blooming Iris are among the most important of the hardy perennials. In beauty, 
form, and color they rival or even surpass the celebrated orchid. They are trouble-free and easily grown. 
They grow splendidly in a sunny position in any ordinary good garden soil that may be watered 
heavily near blooming-time, and are especially effective planted at the edge of a pool or along a stream. 
Attaining a height of about 3 feet, the flowers come in a wide variety of color and as Jarge as 8 inches 
across. The 3-petaled varieties are equally as artistic and beautiful as the 6-petaled kinds, for their 
charm and sparkle compensate for what they lack in petalage. 
We have listed twenty varieties which we believe to be the world’s finest. 
Norte: All varieties have a pronounced gold streak toward the base of the petals.
