JAPANESE IRIS. 



(Iris Kaempferii.) 



These magnificent Iris are among the most beautifu 

 of our summer flowering plants, and are becoming mort 

 popular each season. They commence blooming abou- 

 the middle of June, and continue for five or six weeks 

 Many of these flowers measure from 10 or 12 inches it 

 diameter, and rival the orchids in their rich colorings 

 While this Iris succeeds in almost any soil and condi 

 tion, it delights in a rich, deep, moist position.
