Sris Kaempferi 
The ancient poets called their Iris, Ground Rainbows; also Children 
of the Gods. A promise from them that beauty on earth would ever be. 
The finest of all their varieties is the Kaempferi which we ¢ fer you in 
a wide choice of colors. Not the least of their fine points is the grace- 
ful foliage. A thing of beauty after the blooms are past. 
Planted in a mass, or as a border, they are ideal. A few edging a 
reflecting pool or stream, is something to remember. No matter how 
fine your Iris collection may be, not to have these is to deprive yourself 
of something that will make it complete. 
CULTURE. Late plantings should be protected by a light covering 
of straw or leaves after the growad is permanently frozen to prevent 
roots from being heaved out of the ground by frost. Plant in spring 
or September and October. Avoid all lime.
