IRIS K/i;MPFERr, "ZAMA-NOMORI." 



IRIS K^MPFERI. 



THIS well known beautiful Flag-like flower of Japan displays a great diversity of colour, 

 some of the flowers measure 10-12 inches. The principal colours are white, maroon, 

 deep blue, violet, beautifully veined, mottled, etc. 



We grow these in our rice-field and when the plant is at rest we manure it with dung 

 once a month from November to March, but never give manure after the foliage appears. 

 Cow-manure will answer all purposes. The plant grow successfully on all soils but if the soil 

 is light better have it planted where it can often be watered by means of irrigation or a little 

 depressed ground to hold water and get the full benefit of rains. If the soil and climate be 

 too dry it should be planted in pot provided with water in a basin and keep it under 

 subirrigation in a manner as calla lily is grown in the greenhouse. It flowers beginning of 

 summer.
