One of the most beautiful and varied of all fami- 
lies of plants, embracing almost every imaginable 
color and combination of color. From April, when 
/. pumila commences to bloom, until July, when 
the Japanese Irises are in their full glory,'there is 
one continuous succession of gorgeous flowers. 
Nearly every quarter of the globe contributes its 
share to this matchless family, thus enabling its 
members to fill positions in every conceivable part 
of the garden. The varieties of I. germanica are 
extremely effective, grown in beds entirely devoted 
to themselves, and are essential to the mixed her¬ 
baceous border; they are also quite at home if 
grown on the roof of a summer house or on the top 
of a wall. I. pumila and its varieties are valuable 
for making an early show on the rock-garden or 
in the front of the herbaceous border. The Japan¬ 
ese and Sibirica Irises are most at home at the 
waterside, but will make an effective display if 
grown in ordinarily good soil.
