HIGO STRAIN 
(JAPANESE IRIS) 
We are pleased to offer for the first time many varieties of this magnificent 
strain. Although the Higo iris are new and almost unknown in America, they are 
recognized as the highest development of Iris Kaempferi in Japan. Immense flowers 
up to one foot in diameter, richest colors, heavy substance and velvety texture char- 
acterize this strain. Many are intensely ruffled. And best of all, Higo Iris possess 
exceptional vigor and give better results under ordinary garden conditions than other 
strains. Several of the varieties listed this year were imported from Japan shortly 
before the war. As stocks of all are very limited, we advise early ordering if you wish 
to avoid disappointment.
