JAPANESE WATER IRISES 
These May flowering - irises are easy of culture. A richly fertilized medium to heavy 
garden loam with plenty of water during the growing season is all that it requires. 
Can be grown on the edges of pools; in boxes or pots in the pool itself with the crown 
just below the surface of the water; or in bog or herbaceous planting with other 
moisture and acid loving plants. Fertilize heavy after flowering and divide every three 
years for large flowers. 
We have many fine varieties in our collection, some named and others under 
number due to a confusion of names. The petals are three, six or nine in number. 
Colors from white to deep blue and purple. Some pinkish purples, but no yellows.
