Dr. C. Stuart GAGER, DIRECTOR. 
Sir: I submit herewith my annual report for 1932. 
Iris PLANTATIONS 
Dr. Reed, in charge of Iris, reports as follows: “ There were 
several additions to the /ris collection. By exchange and collec- 
tion, we received 18 species and varieties, most of them the Beard- 
less types. Mr. S. Tanaka made, in different parts of Japan, 29 
collections of wild iris in the summer of 1931. Most of these 
were Iris Kaempferi var. spontanea. However, I. laevigata, J, 
sibirica, I. setosa, and I. Rossii were also represented. The col- 
lected plants were sent by Mr. Tanaka to the Yokohama Nursery 
Company, Ltd., who took care of them until early in the year, when 
they were forwarded to us. We obtained by purchase 60 varieties 
of the cultivated Japanese /ris.”
