Japanese Irises 



If you have a garden you have a place for a few choice Japanese Irises. Along" 

 creek banks, about the edge of either natural or formal pools, or in the regu- 

 lar flower borders, they are perfectly at home. Flowering in late June or 

 early July, they extend the iris season considerably, and there are many wh.o 

 declare that the broad flat blossoms of the Japs outrival the bearded iris in 

 brilliancy and beauty. In addition, they are ideal as cut flowers and for tlie 

 home, lasting well and being borne on thin wireJike stems, with graceful 

 foliage.
