New Large-Flowering JAPAN 1F\IS- ■* ' ris Kaempferi & 



CHE magnificence of these new Irises surpasses description. The flow- 

 ers are of enormous size, averaging 8 to 10 inches across, and 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. Ready in October. (See cut.)
