A LUXURIOUS TYPE 



There is something peculiarly 

 oriental and luxurious about the 

 appearance of this particular variety of 

 iris; the idea being carried out by the 

 richness of coloration and the softly 

 flowing contour of the petals. How- 

 ever, the oriental iris is generally of a 

 somewhat different type, as will be seen 

 in succeeding pictures.
