JAPANESE IRISES 
This collection of Japanese Irises is considered one of the most 
authentic in New England. The greatest authority on this section 
of the iris family assisted me in checking the names and varieties, 
consequently I feel certain that they are true to name. The fol¬ 
lowing list contains most of the choice kinds.
