A double'flowered variety of

Field-grown clumps cultivated in the

The increased demand for our Japanese Iris in recent 
years, proves beyond a doubt their excellent quality and 
adaptability to general garden use. Once established, 
they will flower profusely year after year. The immense flowers, often the size of a 
dinner plate, display their glory immediately after the German Iris has finished blooming. 
Use them as a background in the perennial border, or, better still, around your lily 
pool. Don’t let them starve to death; an application of manure worked into the soil in 
early spring will repay you tenfold. 
It takes about two years for Japanese Iris to become firmly established and if they fail 
to flower the first season after transplanting, there’s no cause for alarm. They may be 
successfully transplanted in early spring as well as in the fall.
