A JAPANESE IRIS 



Our iris experiments, as mentioned 

 in the text, have largely had to do with 

 the Japanese iris. We raised great 

 quantities of seedlings at Sevastopol a 

 few years ago. The combinations of 

 colors are beautiful beyond description, 

 and they vary in all shades of the rain- 

 bow. Sometimes the double ones take 

 on handsome and unusual shapes. 

 These are typical specimens of a more 

 usual form.
