JAPAIVESE IRIS (Iris Keempferu). 



These magnificent Iris are among the most beautiful (^ our summer- 

 flowering plants, and are becoming more popular every season. Tliey com- 

 mence blooming about the middle of June, and continue for five or six 

 weeks. Many of these flowers measure from 10 to 13 inclies in diameter, 

 and rival the Orchids in their rich colorings and markings. While this Iris 

 succeeds in almost any soil and condition, it delights in a rich, deep, moist 

 position.
