Japanese Iris Japanese Iris (Iris Kaempferi) The improved forms of this beautiful flower have placed it in the same rank popularly as the Hardy Phloxes and Peonies. Coming into flower about the middle of June, and continuing for 3 to 4 weeks they fill in a period when flowers of this attractive type are particularly welcome. They succeed in almost any soil and position, but like rich soil and plenty of water when they are forming their buds and develop- ing their flowers. We have selected the following varieties from a long list of introductions as the most distinctive. With their rich, lustrous colors and refined forms they rank high in this regal class of Oriental flowers. Blue Danube. Double-blue with pure white veins, yellow center; a striking variety of unusual strength. Blue Jay. Six large petals aniline blue surrounded by a white halo. Helene Von Siebold. Single. Self color. Reddish purple. Very large and fine blossoms. Mahogany. Rich velvety crimson purple with six large rounded petals. Oriole. Double claret-red, flamed white and blue. Compact, medium sized. Orion. Light ground, suffused throughout with crimson purple. Six petals. Othello. Beautiful double deep purple overlaid with blue. Paragon. Rich royal purple with many white veins. Six petals. Pres. Harding. Double or six petaled; heavy, thick-petaled flowers produced when all other Japanese Iris are out of bloom. Flowers very massive; fine light blue with darker shadings. We believe this one of the best Japanese Iris grown. Pyramid. Six large, royal purple petals with a yellow center, radiating into lines. Most brilliant Iris. Quakeress. Single.
