JAPANESE IRISES, (/m Kmnvferi.) 



In these we find combinations of form and beauty far excelling any 

 other type of Iris. The stately flowers are often ten to twelve inches 

 in diameter, and of wonderfully varied and beautiful colors. They come 

 into bloom in June and continue flowering for over a month. Excellent 

 for cutting, for which purpose they should be cut in the bud, thence placed 

 in water, where they will open most charmingly. The plants require rich 

 moist soil, and, if set out now, will bloom next Summer. 



50 cts. each; $4.50 for 10; $38.00 per 100. 



Azure. Gorgeous, large wavy six-petalled flowers of a beautiful bluish- 

 mauve, with a halo of a deeper shade around the yellow blotch at the 

 base of the petals.

 center bound with a wide gold band. Double.

 One of the finest Japanese Irises.
