JAPANBSE: iris (Iris Kaempferi) ' The improved forms of this beautiful flower have placed them in the same rank popularly as the Hardy Phloxes and Peonies. Coming into flower about the middle of June, and continuing for five or six weeks, they fill in a period when flowers of this attractive type are particularly welcome. They succeed in almost any soil and position, but like rich soil and plenty of water when they are forming their buds and developing their flowers. Valuable as cut flowers, for which purpose they should be cut in the bud state, permitting the blooms to expand after being placed in water. No. 4. 12. 24. 31. 44. 47. .55. 71.
