JAPANESE HRAUS (tris 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 ]0 to 12 
inches in diameter, and rival the orchids in their rich 
colorings. While this Iris succeeds in almost any soil 
and location, it delights in a rich, deep, moist position, 
with full exposure to the sun,

scribe these beautiful Iris. Below we merely give 
the general color effect. Order by name or number.)
