PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK.— HIGH GRADE BULBS.— WHOLESALE. 



SPANISH IRIS 



FOR FORCING. 



"yHESE almost equal orchids in beauty of coloring 

 and delicacy of perfume — the flowers are of great 

 beauty and cut in the bud state, last from one to two 

 weeks in bloom — longer than any other cut Iris. One 

 root bears one stem bearing two flowers in succes- ( 

 sion a week apart ; the faded flower does not show 

 a mark on the stem when removed. All growers 

 of cut flowers should try these this season ; they 

 are low priced, and if planted in boxes and 

 placed in cold frames until they show bud , , 

 then bring into heat they can be had in 

 bloom from Match on, and will 

 give great satisfaction.
