We had been so engrossed with the window boxes that bulbs had beem Vforgotten for the moment, and M. | Burbank reminded me that nothing at all had been said about Iris. This interesting and beautiful fam- ily, of course, could not be passed over and I at once asked if there were still time to plant any of them. “It is too late for the European Iris, which bloom in May and June,” said Mr. Burbank, “but we might plant some Japanese and Siberian Iris for Midsuinmer blooming, and a little later, when the Spring Ir have Bloomed and it is time to move them. we can take up the subject again an make out next year's list. ‘here are so many varieties that e in selecting and plant- have some of them in the Japanese the Luropean ation ¢ as for 1s the culti he same Burbank. “the Eu- Iris, which includes the Iris and the Spanish.

The results of blending the different colors and crossing the different spe- cies will be of the greatest interest. “My own experiments have been chiefly with the Japanese Iris laeva- #ata, and I raised great quantities of theni at one time, planting them on an acre of damp ground on one of my {esperiment farms.
