A Japanese Iris 



Mr. Burbank's experiments, as already mentioned, have 

 largely had to do with the Japanese iris. He raised great quan- 

 tities of them at Sebastopol a few years ago. The combinations of 

 colors are beautiful beyond description, and they vary in all 

 shades of the rainbow. Sometimes the double ones take 

 on handsome and unusual shapes. These are 

 typical specimens of a more usual form.
