"There is nothing in the garden like Jap- 

 anese Iris for arrogance subtlety and sheer 

 insolence of beauty. This is precisely the 

 effect conveyed when one sees Japanese 

 Irises in large masses. When a few plants are 

 found on the banks of a stream, they have 

 more of piquancy and less of boldness. They 

 are the most striking flowers of July, and not 

 so difficult to grow as the average gardener 

 supposes."
