JAPAN IPvIS. 



I'*' _ (IKIS KAEMPFERI.) 



The magnificence of these new Iris surpass descrip- 

 tion. The flowers are of enormous size, averaging 8 to 

 10 inches across, and are of indescribable ani 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 June and July, attain- 

 ing greatest perfection if grown in moist soil, or if plentifully supplied with 

 water while growing and flowering though they will succeed in almost any 

 soil and position. The earlier the roots are planted after the first of Septem- 

 ber the better the flowers will be the succeeding summer. (See cut.) Ready 

 September to December.
