Iris laevigata (Kaempferi) • Japanese Iris 
Japanese Iris are at their best in July when the Ger¬ 
man Iris have ceased to flower. They present a fascinat¬ 
ing spectacle to the flower-lover, and those unacquainted 
with them are astounded at the wonderful color combi¬ 
nations to be seen, varying from vivid purples and blues 
to soft pinks and lavenders. Many of the flowers mea¬ 
sure 6 to 8 inches across. 
Japanese Iris thrive in swampy ground near pools and 
streams, but will do well in ordinary garden soil if 
watered well during dry weather.
