JAPANESE IRIS (ins Kjempferii). 



These magnificent Iris are among the most beautiful of our summer- 

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

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