. Boddington's quality bulbs, seeds and plants / Arthur T. Nursery Catalogue. Iris Eaempferi, Mrs. C. T. Sazton JAPANESE IRIS {Iris Kaempferi) The lapanese Iris is the most showy and strikingly beautiful of all the large family of Iris ; and very few flowers, the orchid not being excepted, surpass this unique flower in size and gor- geousness and variety of color, which ranges from snow-white to the deepest purple, striped, variegated and multicolored in the greatest profusion of coloring. The collection which we offer below is American grown, thoroughly acclimated and hardy and true to color and name, which is rarely evident in the imported Japanese stock. The plants we offer are furnished with four to five shoots, and all will flower the first season after planting, guaranteeing an immediate and showy effect. iJtiivery can be made now or any time desired. E irly spring planting is recommended, however, as it gives the plants an opportunity to get established before the warm weather sets in. The Japan Iris will succeed anywhere in a good rich soil, though a moist position is preferable. Blue Jay. Sky-blue, with deep blue edge and white veins. Shadow. Intense deep purple. Mahogany. Rich dark maroon. Gold Bond. Early-flowering; white, with yellow base and petals. Exquisite. Light blue, veined with purple ; very distinct and pretty. Pyramid. Azure-blue, lightening to center.
