THE JAPANESE IRISES 
These unfold their regal flowers, often 8 to 10 
inches across, in July. They range through delicate lar- 
venders to the richest purple, some are pure white, 
marked with gold, others are daintily veined with con¬ 
trasting color. They must have good drainage and sun,

MISCELLANEOUS IRISES 
AUREA. An especially effective sort for use in the 
border. Does best in rather heavy soil. Large pure 
yellow flowers. 25c. 
IRIS BULLEYANA. Like a glorified Siberian Iris. 
The flowers are much larger, borne well above 
the foliage, and of rich blue or purple. Excellent 
for pool planting though not in the water. 25c. 
IRIS CRISTATA, (R). This graceful miniature iris 
should be established in a position with afternoon 
shade, and rather light soil. Increases fast and 
bears delicate lavender flowers in abundance. Very 
much at home in the rock, garden. 25c. 
IRIS CRISTATA ALBA, (R). Even lovelier than the 
preceding. Leaf mould and partial shade bring it 
to perfection. One of the rarest rock irises. $1.00. 
IRIS FOLIOSO. Suited to semi-shaded position, per¬ 
haps at the edge of woods, and where there is am¬ 
ple moisture. Foliage not particularly good, but 
flowers are exquisite in their delicacy of form 
and color. A clear pale blue is predominant. 50c.

pale yellow, narrow rush-like foliage. Fine for the 
rock garden. This iris likes full sun and grows 16 
inches tall. Rare. 50c.
