 roundings, and while the "modern" Irises, If we may use the 

 term, will remind one of the old day.-), they, too, like every- 

 thing else of these days, have yielded to the influence of 

 Improvement, and there has been evolved a race of flowers 

 absolutely bewildering In the gl.uy of their form and color. 



UiM- III the most universally known Mnd admired plants. The graceful spikes, with 



the dainty, pure white bells, are a ilellght to the eye, and their delicate fragrance 



is exquisite. Tlants succeeil almost anywhere, bXit prefer a partly shaded situation 



and rich soil. For house culture, plant rather thiVkly in pots or boxes, scatter some 



nniss or other light material over the soil, which must not cover the 



crown; water well and set away in a dark, cold place where they will 



freeze, or bury pot in ground for several days. When brought to heat 



and light after a few weeks, the leaves and flowers will soon appear.
