Japanese Ohises 
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. They are all prize winners. 
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.
