HIGO IRIS 
This magnificent new type of Japanese Iris was first developed in Kumamoto Prefecture on Kyushu 
Island and is recognized as the most advanced strain of Iris Kaempferi. We have tested many vari- 
ieties and list the ones that are hardy and floriferous. They are among the most spectacular and 
gorgeous of all iris. They are richly colored, with heavy substance and fine texture. The giant flowers 
will attain 11 inches or more in diameter. Many varieties are intensely ruffled and some have the 
sheen of fine velvet. They are exceptionally vigorous and will give excellent results under ordinary 
garden conditions.
