THE BEST SKILL of the ingenious Japanese hybridists has been expended to bring this, their most splendid 
creation, to a high state of perfection. 
These choice varieties were selected as the finest from a large collection in the most famous private Japanese 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 and received a high award. Japanese irises are best planted during late April, early 
May, August or September. 
CULTURE: 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 cultivated and mulched.
