A Portion of our Japanese Iris Garden at Riverton, N. J., and Almost as Famous as the Tokio Garden Shown on Page 171. 



JAPANESE IRIS (Mi K«mpferi). 



(See Colored Illustration on Back Cover of this Catalogue.) 



These magnificent Iris are among the most beautiful of our summer-flowering plants, and are becoming more popular every 

 season. They commence 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 and markings. The collection of 24 varieties here 

 offered were selected, while in flower, from over 75 of the best Japanese introductions. While the Iris succeeds in almost any 

 soil and conditions, they delight in a rich, deep, moist position, and should be abundantly supplied with manure and water.
