CHE magnificence of these new Iris surpass description. The flowers 

 are of enormous size, averaging 8 to 10 inches across, and are of in- 

 describable and charming hues and colors, varying like watered 

 silk in the sunlight, the prevailing colors being white, crimson, rose, 

 lilac, lavender, violet and blue; each flower usually representing several 

 shades while a golden yellow blotch, surrounded by a halo of blue or 

 violet, at the base of the petals intensifies the wealth of coloring. The 

 Japan Iris is perfectly hardy and flowers in great profusion in July, 

 attaining greatest perfection if grown in moist soil, or if plentifully 

 supplied with water while growing and flowering. The earlier the roots 

 are planted after the first of September the better the flowers will be the 

 succeeding summer. (See cut.) Ready September to December.
