IJ VY Us I Caempf: Cu - RAINBOW IRIS 
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 offer you in a wide choice 
of colors. Not the least of their fine points is the graceful 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 re- 
member. 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 ground is perma- 
nently frozen to provent roots from being heaved out of the ground by frost. Plant in spring or September and Octo- 
ber. Avoid all lime.
