' Kaempferi, or properly I. laevigala. Ckmatis Flowered 
/m.— Japan. 3 to 4 It. Dealei-s are not often 
charged with under praising their plants, but 
an experienced cultivator, in the vicinity of 
Boston, writes to the effect that we have 
not set forth the merits of this Iris with 
HuflScient enthusiasm , and gives it as his 
opinion that it is to be the popular hardy plant 
for some years to come. To those unacquainted 
with this Iris, we would say that the flowers are 
different in form from any of the ordinary kinds, 
being broad and flat ; they are single and double, 
and present the greatest variety of color, from 
the purest white to the darkest shades of royal 
purple, through pinks and blues, with gold and 
other markings. "We ofi'er seedlings from the best 
European stock, and also named vavioties, from 
the plants originally introduced from Japan by
