FARQUHAR’S JAPANESE IRISES. /ris Kempferi. 
In these we find combinations of form and beauty far excelling any 
other type. The stately flowers are often 10 to 12 inches in diameter, and 
of wonderfully varied and beautiful colors. They require rich, moist soil. 
Our collection is a direct importation from Japan and is remarkably fine.
