128 PLANNING AND PLANTING 



LOHENGRIN. A uniform shade of soft catleya 

 rose. LORELEY. Light yellow and ultramarine 

 blue ; fall petals bordered with cream. PLUMERI. 

 Coppery rose with velvety claret falls. PRIN- 

 CESS VICTORIA LOUISE. Yellow; fall petals 

 rich violet edged with cream, the flower growing 

 to a height of two and a half feet. And we will 

 mention but one more in this class, CAPRICE. 

 Rosy-red, with the fall petals a deeper shade of 

 the same color. 



Imagine, how can any lover of beautiful flowers 

 neglect a plant that is so versatile, and shows all 

 the wonderful tints and colorings that we may 

 find today in the German or Liberty Iris. 



And when we turn to the Japanese Iris we find 

 the same remarkable blending of gorgeous and 

 showy colors. We find this flower in pure chaste 

 white, an impressive sight when flowering in a 

 large group, we also find tints of lavender, red, 

 blue, maroon, pink, purple, and last of all, a 

 worthy novelty, we mention the RUFFLED MON- 

 STER, a large double flower of deep pinkish plum, 

 heavily veined with white, surrounding the yellow 

 blotch at the center of the flower, finely formed 

 and beautiful, a ruffled monster, striking indeed 

 in appearance.
