FARQUHAR'S JAPANESE IRISES. cm. Kcempferi) 



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. The collection we offer below is a direct importation from 

 Japan, and is remarkably fine.
