FORCING SPANISH IRIS. 



Horticulture Pub. Co., Boston, Mass. 



Sirs: — I would like to inquire the 

 proper way to treat Spanish Iris as 

 winter stock. I have the bulbs on 

 hand but they are not planted. Is it 

 to late or is there still time for late 

 winter blooms. Thanking you in ad- 

 vance, I remain 



Yours truly, 



Maine. H. L. C. 



Plant in boxes having a depth of 

 about 4 inches, setting the bulbs 2V4 

 to 3 inches apart and covering them 

 about 11^ inches. The compost should 

 b'e a sandy loam enriched with well- 

 rotted manure. When planted the 

 boxes may be watered and placed in 

 a cool cellar, or frame and kept there 

 until the bulbs begin to start and show 

 above ground, when they may be re- 

 moved to the greenhouse. A temper- 

 ature of 45 to 50 degrees suits them 

 best.
