JAPANESE IRIS (I'is KasmpferiiA 



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 lu to 12 

 inches in diameter, and rival the orchids in their ri^.h 

 colorings. While this Iris succeeds in abnost any soil 

 and condition, it delights in a rich, deep, moist position.

 color effect. Order by name or number. )
