TTT 1 



HE magnificence of these new Japan Irises 

 surpasses description. The flowers are of 

 enormous size, averaging S to 10 inches 

 across, and are of 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, a golden-yellow blotch 

 at the base of the petals intensifies the coloring. 

 The Japan Iris is perfectly hardy, of the easiest 

 culture growing in any good garden soil and flowers 

 in great profusion in July, attaining greatest perfec- 

 tion if grown in moist soil, or if plentifully supplied with 

 water while growing and flowering. The collections we are 

 offering this year are particularly fine including several new 

 varieties from Japan. The earlier the roots are planted after the 

 first of September the better the flowers will be the succeeding 

 summer. (See cut.)
