ORIENTAL IRIS 
(Iris Kaempferi) 
“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 ordimary 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 
large as 8 inches across. The 3-petaled varieties are equally as artistic 
and beautiful as the 6-petaled kinds, for their charm and sparkle com- 
pensate for what they lack in petalage. 
: We have listed twenty varieties which we believe to be the world’s 
mest. 
Note: All varieties have a pronounced gold streak toward the base 
of the petals.
