LITTLE SILVER. N. J. Imperial Japanese Iris Iris A field of Japanese Iris at Monmouth Nursery. "Little wonder tliat a plant so boldly decorative in outline and bearing a flower of exquisite coloring so mar- velously formed should make its strongest appeal to the artistic Japanese. From these foremost gardeners of the world has come a strain of irises that neither orchids nor lilies can rival in beauty of form, texture, coloring, mark- ings and general effectiveness. ***** Yet the Iris Kaempferi may be as easily grown as the potato. Moreover, it is perfectly hardly. High, dry lands do not suit its moisture loving roots, but good garden soil, enriched with thoroughly decayed manure, deeply dug in and well watered during June and July—the blossom months in north- eastern United States—will produce flowers of wonderful size. Do not select a shady place for your irises. They thrive under full exposure to the sun, but moisture they must have to bloom their best, and sometimes their roots will penetrate two feet deep to get it. Naturalized in the water garden, where the tall, narrow, blade-like leaves rise in phalanxes around the shore and the stately beauty of the flowers is reflected in the mirror below, they are ideally situated; but let no one forego the delight of growing Japanese Irises merely because he has not a pond or a stream on his ;—^^The Garden Magazine. My collection of Japanese Iris I am quite sure is unequaled by any other in America. Many of the choicer varieties were obtained by me direct from the Imperial gardens of Japan and are to be found in no other nursery in the United States.
