Thert' is no Iiardy fiarclcn subject that can 

 approacli tlu- hcaiity of its delicate orclild-likc 

 blossdiiis. I lowcrmuS as it tides, during' June 

 and July, a period wlien tlie liaicly jzarden has 

 passed its early summi-r glory, tliese iiia,miificent 

 flow ers are particularly w clconic, either for garden 

 decoration or for cutting purposes. Cut in the 

 bud stage, just as the first petals commence to 

 unfold, and placed in wate r, the flowers will ex- 

 pand and keep rcmarkaljly well. 



The Japanese Iris succeeds well in ordinary 

 garden soil, but does best in a rich, 

 moist loam. It should have a location 

 that drains well during winter. In a 

 dry location good results are obtained 

 by countersinking the beds slightly.
