Unusual Japanese Iris

this case. This is one of the most lovely of all Japanese Irises, as 
the illustration on the front cover will show. It was most difficult 
for the artist, the engraver and the printer to catch the fascinat¬ 
ing beauty of this Iris and of course it is several times larger than 
the illustration. 2.50 each; 3 for 6.00

Shii-No-Yuki —(Snow on a purple robe) Single.

color, for the color effect is just like a few 
flakes of snow over a vivid blue-purple ground 
of cloth-like texture. 1.50 each; 3 for 3.00 
Warei-Hotei (The Smiling God of Fortune) 36 
in. Warei-Hotei, one of the seven Japanese 
Gods of fortune, is beloved by all Japanese 
children as the God who brings them gifts, 
the Santa Claus of the Japanese children. Iris 
Warei-Hotei is one of the most perfectly 
formed and one of the finest of all Japanese 
Irises. The ground color is lavender-blue, shaded 
soft violet on the edges and veined deeper 
violet. It has a beautifully tufted centre of 
deep petunia-violet. It is certainly the finest 
of its type. 1.00 each; 3 for 2.00
