Japanese Xm 
( Lcsvigata or Kozmftferi) 
THE Japanese have accomplished wonderful results 
with this type of Iris, producing a strain whose 
beauty of form and combinations of colors rival 
the rarest orchids. They are perfectly hardy and will 
thrive in any good garden soil. Our collection is 
composed of the choicest sorts, many of them direct 
importations from the famous Oriental collections. 
Some of the newer varieties produce enormous flow- 
ers, many of them from eight to twelve inches in 
diameter, of exquisite color and markings. See list 
below.
