RIS 
Irises are used for garden 
clumps; for borders in solid 
rows or evenly spaced groups ; 
in the foreground of shrub¬ 
bery groups, and to some 
extent in narrow spaces 
against the foundation — as 
much on account of their 
compact, hedging foliage so attractive all the year, as for the 
beauty of their flowers.

Last of the wonderful Iris procession in point of season; 
but for size of plant and flowers, shapeliness, richness of 
coloring, beauty of pattern, and splendor of general effect, 
is unquestionably accorded first. Their flowers are generally 
rather flat and wide, often measuring 10 to 12 inches across, 
appearing in great profusion during June and July after the 
Germans are through. Give good, rich light soil, plenty of 
water, and frequent cultivation. 
See illustrations of 8 varieties on Color page D. 
The following varieties are arranged according to their 
relative blooming season; the collection very distinct, color- 
balanced, and justly popular. 
1 — Gekka-no-nami (Waves Under Moonlight). Earliest 
————————— to bloom, and very free. Glistening 
white with creamy white stigmas. 30c. 
2— Kumo-no-obi (Band of Cloud). The lower and upper 
■ ■ —petals being nearly equal in size, make 
a very full flower and a solid blotch of color. A pleasing 
general effect of lavender, derived from the laying on of 
white in distinct rays and halo over deep rose. SOc. 
3— Koki-no-lro (Purple and Gold). Enormous, double flow- 
■ ers often 10 inches across. Color, rich 
violet-purple with white petaloids tipped violet; a golden 
throat with bluish white rays. 30c. 
4— Moniji-no-taki (Maple Waterfall). Bright rosy crim- 
— I., i , son, beautifully feathered in white. 
Petaloid-stigmas white, purple crested. 30c. 
5— Uchill (Universe). Largest size, longest stems, longest 
■ blooming season. Color cerulean blue with golden 
center and white halo. Standards white, tipped blue. 30c. 
6— Sea Crest Six-petaled, big and wavy; frost white. 
— ■ with a deep blue haft. A rift of blue in the 
glistening spray of whitecaps. 30c. 
7— Zama-no-mori Larger than a majority of varieties, 
— . although only three-petaled; one of 
the daintiest. White, with a heavy azure-blue zone; short 
white standards margined blue. 30c. 
8 — Mahogany Large, double flowers, among the latest to 
■ bloom. Velvet toned, deep mahogany-red ; 
the erect petaloids prettily crested. 45c. 
9— Iso-no-nami (Shallow Waves). A magnificent broad- 
——————— petaled variety ; one of the largest; a 
nebulated suffusion of rose and cerulean blue over grey, 
deepening toward the gold flushed center of rosy lilac. 45c. 
10— Wai*ai-hotei (Laughing Doll). A choice new variety ; 
— .. i thick and massive, the fullness accented 
by an extra heavily crested center. The color effect is deep 
lavender enriched by lilac suffusion, and richly contrastive 
velvety violet center. The golden haft is bordered ultra-

silvered field, to the broad, dark rose-flecked margin. 55c.
