Junos and Reticulatas 
The Irises of this group are particularly unusual and very beautiful. Their colors are 
unique and the effect of the corn-like foliage after blooming is fine. In addition, they are 
all very sweetly scented, perfuming that entire part of the garden, and are very early, bloom¬ 
ing with the crocus or just after. They are bulbs and are very easy to grow; merely plant 
them in a well drained soil and after that they almost take care of themselves.
