Japanese 
Iris 
Azalea hinodegiri 
There are three shrubs on this page of which we are particularly fond. The 
Azalea at the top is one of the finest of all bedding plants and covers itself with 
myriads of brilliant scarlet flowers in early summer; the deliciously scented 
Daphne cneorum, whose clusters of soft pink flowers are illustrated below, blooms 
early in the spring and delightfully and fragrantly again in the autumn; and the 
bold purple-flowering Summer Lilac, or Butterfly Bush, Buddleia, which is 
pictured directly below. 
There are two great classes of Iris, the Japanese 
type, illustrated above, which blooms in mid- 
June and produces splendid flowers from 6 to 10 
inches across, and the common or German Iris, 
of which hundreds of varieties exist, and whose 
fragrant flowers are produced in great abundance 
in late May and early June. Varieties of both 
types are described elsewhere in this Catalogue.
