IRIS KEMPFERI SPECIES. 
We suppose the following three plants to be the natural or wild species, and on this account they are full 
of interest as representing the starting point from which the Japanese gardeners have evidently worked for many 
generations to attain such a degree of excellence as is exhibited in Imperatrix and Schoene Wienerin, and also in 
the other beautiful sorts we quote. a. d.

DWARF IRIS. 
Charming varieties, growing from 6 to 12 inches high, and flowering during March, April, and May. They 
succeed in almost any soil and situation, and are valuable for groups in mixed borders, and as edgings to Rhodo- 
dendron beds, herbaceous borders, etc. The Purnila varieties are the most dwarf and make the neatest edgings.

IRIS BARBATA, THE BEARDED IRIS, COMMONLY CALLED GERMAN OR FLAG IRIS. 
Our collection of this Section of Iris has been pronounced 
the most complete in England, and in "The Garden" of 
August 29th, 1874, a lengthened, classified, and descriptive list 
is given of the varieties we have flowered. Those we enume- 
rate in this list are a selection from upwards of 200 varieties. 
The better to understand our descriptions, we furnish a woodcut, 
and it will be observed from it that three of the petals are 
erect — these are called standards ; the other three droop — these 
are called falls. The small tongued parts of the flower are 
th zpetaloid stigmas, under which run the "beards.” The flowers 
in this Section are all large and very handsome, more or less 
beautifully mottled in the standards, and reticulated in the falls ; 
the beards ranging from delicate primrose to orange, and the petaloid 
stigmas frequently enhancing the general effect by their contrast of 
colour. We furnish these important particulars that our descrip- 
tions may be the better understood, as we have not attempted 
to take in these individual points, but to deal with the colours 
which strike the eye on first looking at the flower. There 
is no flower, however, that so improves by examination. At first 
sight its beauty is equal to the Orchid, but, on closer examination, 
we have no hesitation in saying it possesses points of interest 
surpassing the finest Orchid. In colours there are the richest 
yellows, the most intense purples, the most delicate blues, the softest 
mauves, and the most beautiful claret-reds. There are whites, 
and primroses, and bronzes of every imaginable shade— indeed, 
language fails us in picturing the beauties of this flower ; and,
