JAPANESE IRIS (Iri. Kmmpferll). 
These magnificent Iris are among the most beautiful of our summer-flowering plants 
and are becoming more popular every season. They commence blooming about the mid¬ 
dle of June, and continue for five or six weeks. Many of these flowers measure from 10 
to 12 inches in diameter, and rival the Orchids in their rich colorings. While this Iris suc¬ 
ceeds in almost any soil and condition, it delights in a rich, deep, moist position 
(It would like a page or more to accurately describe these beautiful Iris. Be¬ 
low we merely give the general color effect. Order by name or number.)
