JAPANESE IRISES 
The Japanese Irises are perhaps the most showy of all, and are most valuable 
in the garden because they blossom after others have finished flowering. The 
broad flat flowers, some of them 10 inches across, in their beautiful clear colors 
and pastel shades, add distinct character to any garden planting. Their principal 
requirement is an abundance of water about, the roots a month before and a month 
after blooming. They like full sun. We present the following proven sorts.
