JAPANESE IRIS tfH. Kwmpferll). 



These magnificent Iris are among the most beautiful 

 of our summer- rlowering plants, and are becoming 

 more popular each season. They commence blooming 

 about the middle of June, and continue for five or six 

 weeks. Many of these flowers measure from 10 to 12 

 inches in diameter, and rival the orchids in their rich 

 colorings. While this Iris succeeds in almost any soil 

 and location, it delights in a rich, deep, moist position, 

 with full exposure to the sun.

 scribe these beautiful Iris. Below we merely give 

 the general color effect. Order by name or n umber. )
