JAPAN IRIS. (IRIS KAEMPFERl.) 



These new Iris are magnificent. The flowers average 8 to 10 inches across 

 and are charming hues and colors, varying like watered siU m the sun- 

 light, the prevailing colors being white, crimson, rose, lilac, lave.ider, 

 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 coloring. 



The Japan Iris is perfectly hardy and flowers in great pro- 

 fusion in June and Julv, attaining greatest perfection if grown 

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

 and flowering. The earlier the roots are planted after the 

 first of September the better the flowers will be the suc- 

 ceeding summer. (See cut.) Ready September to December.

IRIS HOLLANDICA. 



NEW 



Giant Dutch Iris. 



IRIS HOLLANDICA. 



This new race was produced by crossing 

 various types of bulbous irises resulting in an 

 early giant flowering type resembling the 

 Spanish Iris but bearing much larger 

 flowers, and coming into bloom about two 

 weeks earlier or in the open garden the 

 latter part of May. The flowers are of 

 splendid substance and the range of colors- 

 varied from the rich and showy tones to 

 soft and delicate shades. They require the 

 same cultural conditions as the English and 

 Spanish Irises — slight protection in cold 

 localities — or may be flowered during the 

 winter in pots or pans of soil or Holland
