FUNKIA, OR THE PLANTAIN LILY. 
These handsome ornamental-foliaged Japanese hardy plants develope their leaves early in Spring, and in 
Summer and Autumn, throw up a profusion of fine Lily-like flower spikes.

IRIS. 
The Iris is the “ Orchid ” of the flower garden ; its blossoms are the richest and most diverse in colour, and 
varied in form of hardy plants. It should be extensively planted in flower and shrubbery borders ; also 
for naturalization and in wild gardens. The varieties of Flag Iris, when established, require no further care. 
The varieties of Bulbous Iris in light well drained soils increase rapidly. 
To cut for filling vases a?id for table bouquets, all the Iris are admirably adapted, and when necessary to 
forward the flowers to a distance, gather the buds just before expanding, and, like the Gladioli, they will open in 
water. The effect is greatly etihanced when the individual blossoms are arranged in wet sand or moss, or on a 
bank of wet moss. 
ENGLISH IRIS (THE LARGE BULBOUS IRIS OF SPAIN). 
This magnificent Iris thrives best in well-drained soil; when planted in heavy soil surround the bulbs with 
sand. When convenient plant as soon after the beginning of September as possible, although we have planted as 
late as December, and even in January ; but the earlier the planting is done the better. The varieties described 
are distinct, and as strikingly beautiful and varied in colour as the most sumptuous orchids of the hot-house. 
We exhibit annually cut flowers of this grand Iris at the Meetings of the Royal Horticultural Society, &c.

SPANISH IRIS (THE SMALL BULBOUS IRIS OF SPAIN). 
The Spanish Iris are in flower a fortnight before the English, and differ considerably, the flowers being 
smaller, and the combination of colours quite different ; the blendings of the colours are more curious, and in 
this respect may be compared with the more rare of the curiously coloured orchids. They require the same 
cultural treatment as the English Iris. See coloured plate in The Garden, 1881.
