CENTRAL EXPERIMENTAL FARM 



Varieties of the species given above and those known simply as German are taken out 

 of the general alphabetical arrangement in this bulletin and grouped alphabetically 

 under ' German Iris ' so as to bring them together for greater ease in reference. The 

 Japanese iris have been given English names by many of the nurserymen, and as some 

 varieties have been given several different names it has led to considerable confusion, 

 so that in ordering Japanese iris one is much more likely to obtain duplicates than if 

 obtaining German iris.
