JflPflllESt IRIStS 
1”HE best skill of the ingenious Japanese hybrid¬ 
ists has been expended to bring this, their 
most splendid creation, to a high state of per¬ 
fection. 
These varieties have all been recently intro¬ 
duced. They were selected as the choicest from a 
fine collection in the most famous private Jap¬ 
anese Iris garden in Yokohama. All were named 
by us in honor of prominent flower lovers during 
the summer show in Newport, Rhode Island, 
where they were exhibited. Japanese Irises are 
best planted during late April, early May, August 
or September. 
Cuitu re; Japanese Irises require a deep rich 
soil with all the sunshine and water it is possible 
to give them. They do not like the encroachment 
of neighboring plants. In light soils they can be 
grown to perfection if the ground is kept culti¬ 
vated and mulched.
