NEW LARGE = FLOWERING JAPAN IRIS. 



Iris Kaempferi Grandiflora. The magnificence of these new Irises surpasses descrip- 

 tion. The flowers are of enormoussize, averaging from 6 to 8 iDches across, and of inde- 

 scribable 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 thebase of thepetals.intensifies 

 the wealth of coloring. The Japan Iris is perfectly hardy, and flowers 

 in greatest profusion in June and July, and attains greatest perfection 

 if grown in moist soil, or if plentifully supplied with water while growing 

 and flowering. (See cut.) (Clumps ready in November.)
