Japanese arises 
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 rich slightly acid soil, and 
water copiously during the growing season. Prepare beds the same as for 
Washington hybrids.
