THE GORGEOUS IRIS KAEMPFERI (Oriental Iris) 
The months of February, March and April are good months 
for planting and again during August and September (not later). 
They require rich soil (no Bonemeal and no Lime), sun or half 
shade and abundant supply of water just before and during their 
blooming period. They will not thrive in poor, thin, sandy soil. 
A favorite spot for them in Japan is along side brooks or on the 
margins of pools, but never in water, though you can take up 
a blooming plant, pot it, and float it in your pool while the plant 
is in bloom, later planting it back in its place.

beautiful water color of it. We have now again a small stock

outstanding varieties, MORNING MIST and MATA HARI.

in the lands of the Mikado. For several vears we have tried to

ceeded in importing five of the best specially selected varieties, 
of which we have now a small stock growing of three varieties, 
one having been lost, and one huge snow-white not for sale yet.

at 50c¢ a package. Subject to erop.
