THE IRIS IN JAPAN.
One of Eight Prineely Flowers, the
Japanese Celebrate Its Arrival.

the iris. Along the road we pass flow
er-sellcrs with Il few choice half
opened buds in a wooden bucket, shad-
ed by a great paper umbrella with the
owners name in large black charae-
tiers on one side; ard near by q booth
where souvenirs are sold, all bearing
the iris in some form or other.
This garden of Hori-kiri is said to
be 800 years old and the choicest varl-
cites of iris have been carefully Sc
lected and cultivated. When the Iris
is in bloom at Hori-kiri the Sumida
river is gay with boats deeked wldi
flags and lanterns, and the people en-
joy picnies.
There is another iris garden at Ke-
bata, which belongs to the Yokohama
Nursery company. and covers much
greater area. The iris is also one Of
vate gardens.
The Japanese iris differs from the
German iris, with which we are more
familiar. The three dropping petals
are very large and three central
standing petals much smaller than in
the German flower.
There are 20 varieties of iris. vary
ing in color from pure white To every
shade of mauve and lilac, to rosy pur-
pie and so deep blue as TO be al
most black.
In Japan certain colors in flowers
of the Same species rank higher than

In the country districts the iris is
planted on the ridgepole Of the

no one knows the exact origin of the
custom. One story is that a law was
passed forbidding the use of the land
for anything but rice growing, so the
women planted the iris on the ridge

kENlLWoRIh CASTLE.
History of This Famous Structure
From Godfrey de Clinton to Robert
Dudley

kenilworth castle is one of the most in
teresting and most frequently visited
ruins in England 1t was built about
ITO by Godfrey de Clinton. the chamber
lain of Henry l., with walls 10 feet thick
1t was enlarged and fortified by the fam
Gus Simon de Montfort until it was
deemed impregnable, and in the time of
Henry III it resisted a siege of six
months. Passing by marriage to John of
Gaunt, and thus to his son, Henry ",
the castle became crown property in 1893,
and remained so until Elizabeth con-
fcrred it on Robert Dudley Earl of
Leicester, in 1863 During the great Civil
War it was taken possession of by
Cromwell, who allowed his soldiers TO
pillage and destroy it in 1916. Since the
restoration the castle and lands adjon
ing have belonged to the ears of Claren-
don, who have carefully preserved the
ruins without attempting to restore
"Caeser's Tower" the original Norman
keep, is almost unchanged today, and
though the roof and floors are gone, its
massive walls remain. notable example
of 18th century military architecture.
The magnificent great hall built by John
of Gaunt is also f1oorless, but its noble
proportions can still be realized. and it
is in far better repair than the more re-
cent Leicester buildings.
But although the castle is peculiarly
rich In genuine historical associations it
is as the scene of a series of entirely
apocryphal events that KeniIworth at

the game was won. Allen, the visiting
pitcher. was hit in the head by pitched
ball the first time up and he was hit
again stealing second, which put him to
the bad for few minutes, but he got
into the game and did good work.

hospital for treatment Allen went into
the box and finished out the game. allow
ing six hits and had the Home boys go

In the eighth Togus got to Allen for two
singles, two-bagger and two walks and
scored three runs to their one. and also
got another in the ninth on base on
balls by McCurdy and three-bagger by
Reynolds. Both teams made some fast
plays and were lively in the field, taking
all chances offered. OConnor, the new
short for Togus. played a fine game and
although he made two bad throws allow
ing scores, he is good addition to the
team. All he needs is practice, Tuesday
being his first game this summer. The
next game will be with Hallowell team
