JAPANBSE IRIS IrU Kaempfeni). 



These magnificent Iris are among the most beautiful of our summer 

 flowering plants, and are becoming more popular each season. Tliey 

 commence blooming about tlie 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 colorinijs. While this Iris 

 succeeds in almost any soil and position, it deli<;hts in a 

 rich, deep, moist loam.
