tips merely or nearly 

 touch. In some varieties 

 as, Pare de Neuilly (Fig. 

 II, 8, page 38), Caprice 

 (Fig. II, 9, page 38 and 

 Fig.LVII in Chapter XI), 

 Jeanne d'Arc (Fig.XXV)- 

 they are more wide-stand- 

 ing; in some as, Celeste 

 (Fig. XXVI), Prosper 

 Laugier (Fig. II, 2, page 

 38) they are yet more 

 wide-spread, and in a 

 few as, Dorothea (Fig. 

 XXVII) they are al- 

 most horizontal. 



The names by which 

 the American Iris Society 

 designates the usual car- 

 riage of the standards of 

 different varieties, are 

 shown in Fig. XXVIII. 



It should be borne in 

 mind that the carriage of 

 flowers (standards and 

 falls) of the same variety 

 varies at times more or 

 less with age (both of 

 the flower and the plant) 

 and environment.
