IRIS K/EHPFERI. Japanese Iris. 



In these we find combinations of form 

 and beauty far excelling any other type. 

 The stately flowers are often 8 or 10 

 inches in diameter, and of wonderfully 

 varied and beautiful colors. They include 

 pure white lightly veined with pale yel- 

 low, delicate shades of lilac, lavender and 



light blue, bright shades of rose and r ^^^^g Ife^ -J^H 

 crimson, rich coppery red, claret, purple, lllllilPlp^2L^ll 



violet and dark blue ; in most of them 

 the throat is blotched with deep yellow, 

 and in some a veination of the same 

 color over the entire flower, contrasting 

 beautifully with the ground color. 



This class particularly requires a rich, 

 moist soil, which should be kept saturated 

 while the flower spikes are being de- 

 veloped and while the plants are in ^IIIMIHW "" m »"" J^£ 

 bloom. Boots ready in October.
