SUNDRY SPECIES OF IRIS. 
Under this heading we enumerate a few species of Iris more or less rare and beautiful. Amongst the most 
noteworthy, /. Iberica ranks foremost, it is of dwarf growth, with large and beautiful flowers, in which are curious 
combinations of colour. Our illustration, page 73 , represents the flower of this plant. Cristata, with its 
amethystine flowers and close dwarf growth, succeeds best in well-drained borders, or on rockwork. Susiana 
has large flowers of rare beauty. Sibirica is distinguished by its long narrow foliage and small orchid-like 
flowers, while Versicolor, Setosa, and Grace tips is are remarkable for their dwarf growth, and neat, beautiful 
flowers, which are admirably adapted for small bouquets, finger glasses, etc. Thus we might describe each of 
those enumerated. 9 . d.

IRIS PUMILA OR CRIMEAN IRIS. 
Charming dwarf varieties, growing from 8 to 9 inches high, and in flower during March, April, and May. 
For groups in small borders, and as edgings to Rhododendron beds, herbaceous borders, etc., they are invaluable, 
succeeding in almost any soil and situation. The permanency of the blossom is enhanced however, in situations 
where they are slightly protected from cutting winds and hot sunshine. 
In the descriptions S. is used to signify Standards, or the erect petals; F., Falls, or the drooping petals.

IRIS KiEMPFERI. 
The following are the Japanese Flag Iris, and form a perfectly distinct race. The varieties have mostly 
large flat Clematis-like flowers, rich in colour, and extremely beautiful. Those exhibited at the Floral Committee 
of the Royal Horticultural Society this year received first class certificates. 
According to Herr Max Leichtlin, this Iris succeeds best in sandy peat, where it produces vivid green foliage, 
and when established abundance of flowers ; still they can be grown in any good ordinary soil.

TIGRIDIA. 
It may be questioned if any orchid equals in beauty the Tigridia, or elicits so much admiration. Plant for 
succession in March, April and May in any good light soil, and flowers may be gathered from them daily for months.
