JAPANESE IRIS 
These magnificent Irises are a truly gorgeous sight and extend 
the Iris season well into July. The colors are many and brilliant, 
and add greatly to any garden. 
They thrive in any good, mellow clay loam and while they like 
plenty of moisture during the growing season, flooding with water 
is not a necessity, as many suppose. It is essential to keep the 
ground well stirred. Be sure water does not stand over them in 
Winter. 
Blue Jay —Double sky blue, distinct white lines on each petal. 
Dominator—Single. A dark violet blue, lighter veinings of orange 
at base of falls; makes a splendid spot of color in the July 
garden. Upright standards, very large, horizontal falls. 
Gold Bound —Double. Large, double white enriched by a creamy 
glow, from the gold banded center. 
Pyramid—Double violet purple, veined white in center of each 
petal. 
Red Riding Hood —Single; fine amaranth, veined and suffused 
white. 
“Rose-Anna” —Double, mauve lavender, darker halo. Petals of 
soft, crepe like texture, with yellow blotch at base. 
Violet Beauty —Large, single flower of a rich, dark violet purple, 
with long, conspicuous yellow center and graceful, crepe like 
texture. A tall growing variety, very showy in garden.
