JAPANESE IRISES 
The plants of this particularly showy group are 
valuable adjuncts to any garden, especially to one 
containing other types of irises, as their later bloom¬ 
ing extends the iris season for a considerable period. 
They are peculiarly adaptable for the adornment of 
the banks of pools and streams, where they may be 
grouped with very picturesque effect. 
The following collection has been chosen with great 
care, both as to the authenticity and the desirability 
of the varieties represented, and is consequently of¬ 
fered without hesitation or apology. The blooms are 
either 3-petaled (single), 6-petaled (double), or 9- 
petaled (triple), and are so indicated in the descrip¬
