JAPANESE IRIS (Iris Kaempferi) 
Much has been written of the wonderful Irises that exist in the mysterious 
gardens and temples of ancient Japan, so jealously guarded that they have 
never been permitted to reach the outside world. 
. Many years ago a collection of these Irises, said to be a duplicate of those 
in the garden of the Mikado, was brought to this country. At any rate it 
contained many beautiful varieties that have never been improved upon 
by later importations. It is to be regretted that some of the varieties in 
that collection have disappeared, and many of the remaining ones arc to 
be found in limited numbers only here and there. 
The Japanese Irises are the largest and showiest of all the Irises—seeing 
them for the first time one cannot withhold an exclamation of surprise, and 
haying once seen can never forget their beauty. The flower-stems vary in 
height from 3 to 5 feet, and are crowned with gorgeous blooms showing a 
bewildering array of colors and combinations. 
A well-enriched soil, with plenty of moisture during the growing and 
blooming season, meets all their needs. The soil should be kept loose 
around the plants, never permitting it to become baked or hard. Plants 
should be set the latter part of August or first of September—late planting
