LET US HAVE AN IRIS SHOW. 

 Is thPi-e any one who will do for the 

 Iris what Mr. Albert C. Burrage has 

 done for the Orchid? He converted 

 the ugly lecture haJl of the Massachu- 

 setts Horticultural Society into a beau- 

 tiful tropical forest where birds were 

 singing among the flowers. He was 

 showing how the orchids grow, some 

 on the earth, some hanging from trees. 

 It was a wonderful display, from which 

 a new Society of Orchid Growers has 

 started. But this show can do more 

 than that. It can act as an inspira- 

 tion tor other exhibits. 



If we are to show the Iris as it 

 grows in its home we would build 

 a little thatch roofed .Japanese house 

 with the Iris growing along its ridge- 

 pole. In front of the house we would 

 make a pond with the Iris growing 

 among the sedge on its border. In an- 

 other corner of the hall we would 

 show a bit of France, a gateway with 

 the Iris growing at its top like true 

 little patriots displaying the tricolor 

 in lovely shades of red, white and 

 blue. 



A new society for the cultivation of 

 the Iris has started: can they not be- 

 stir themselves and give us such a 

 show in Horticultural Hall In June? 

 I have heard it whispered that the 

 trustees of the Massachusetts Horti- 

 cultural Society do not always attend 

 the shows held through the summer 

 season. Well, they have had a good 

 many years of seeing flowers stuck in 

 bottles, plates of apples and of pears. 

 They have made a wonderful display 

 of orchids and azaleas. Turnabout is 

 fair play, bet the exhibitors now do 

 their part. Labor is difficult. 



There is a saying that the incentive 

 of large prizes must be given for such 

 exhibitions. The orchid show was 

 planned for more than a year, but is 

 there not some Yankee in Boston who, 

 under the inspiration of what has been 

 done tor the orchid will show how the 

 Yankees of the Orient grow the Iris in 

 Japan? Having made our picture with 

 this Iris we can show on the sides of 

 the hall the Iris which is grown in 

 Siberia. Holland, England and Spain, 

 with the little Alpine Iris and the 

 dwarf species which follow it. and 

 make our garden beautiful from early 

 spring till midsummer dawns.
