IRIS KAEMPFERI 
Among the most gorgeous of all flowers, their rich color- 
ings, silky petals and lovely form have made them known 
as Rainbow Iris, or Orchids of the Garden. 
Every garden should display them, in masses, round 
pools, or in the border. They are easily grown, and not 
only are their flowers most gorgeous, often 8 inches across, 
but after their long blooming season, from May to July, the 
foliage is very attractive. 
We have a grand collection of large flowered Iris Kaemp- 
feri, in a special mixture containing the whole range of 
lovely colors. 
3 for $1.50; Dozen $5.00; 100 for $28.00, postpaid. 





Plant Iris Kaempferi in full sun or partial shade, in soil into which peat 
moss or leaf mold has been spaded. Fall is the best time to plant, as they 
are somewhat dormant at that time. Give them an abundance of water 
in their growing season, early spring until fall. 

BEAUTIFUL CLIVIA 
Richest tones of orange, apricot and gold distinguish our won- 
derful Clivias. Massive clusters of showy flowers, 15 to 25, many 
lighted with golden throats, are produced on thick stalks during 
the spring season, and last for weeks. Leaves are evergreen, broad, 
strap-shaped, and very ornamental. 
Plants thrive in cool, deep shade, among ferns and shrubbery, and are 
splendid subjects for patio planting in mild climates. 
The Clivia is one of the rarer plants which may be grown by amateurs 
as easily as philodendrons. It requires no special greenhouse, no special 
temperature, except that it cannot stand low temperatures or hot sum- 
mer sun. When it becomes dry, water thoroughly, and wash dust from 
leaves with water, or drench it in the sink. It is seldom affected by 
insect pests. It makes a grand pot plant, with its exotic bloom and rich 
foliage. Set the bulbous roots in pots not too large, in a mixture of 2 
parts rich loam, 1 part peat moss, and | part sand. Repot every 
three years, being careful not to disturb roots. It takes seven 
years for plants to come to blooming age, but they may con- 
tinue each year for 20 years. 
5-inch pots, $2.50, postpaid. 
Blooming size, $3.50, postpaid. 
Specimens $5.00 to $10.00 (not postpaid) .
