Japanese Irises 
The Japanese irises, with their large flat flowers of three or six petals, bloom here in New England, 
in early July. They will grow in sun or partial shade, but retain the velvety quality of the flowers 
better, in the shade. They should be planted deep, fed plenty of rich food, and watered constantly 
while coming into bloom.
