JAPANESE IRIS aris Kempterii). 
These magnificent Iris are among the most beautifui of our summer- 
flowering plants, and are becoming more popular every season. They con:- 
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.
