JAPANESE IRIS (Iris Kaempferii). 
These magnificent Iris are among the most beautiful 
of our summer flowering plants, and are becoming more 
popular each season. They commence blooming about 
the middle of June, and continue for five or six weeks. 
Many of these flowers measure from 10 to 12 inches in 
diameter, and rival the orchids in their rich colorings. 
While this Iris succeeds in almost any soil and position, 
it delights in a rich, deep, moist loam.
