Japanese Jrtees 
This collection of Japanese Irises is considered one of the most au¬ 
thentic in New England. The greatest authority on this section of the iris 
family assisted me in checking the names and varieties, consequently I feel 
certain that they are true to name. The following list contains most of the 
choice kinds. Plant fully two inches deep, in rick slightly: acid soil, and 
water copiously during the growing season. Prepare beds the same as for 
Washington hybrids.
