Spanish Iris or Iris 
2 . 
Hispanica 
These beautiful bulbous irises have 
long been known as “‘the poor man’s 
orchids,’’ and appropriately so because 
the colorings and markings of the differ- 
ent varieties of Spanish Iris so closely : 5 Besar om 
resemble the markings of many specimens of the Orchid family. The 
flowers of some are four to five inches in diameter and the plants are all 
extremely graceful. For the adornment of a dinner table nothing could 
be better, and, if cut while in bud, last about ten days. They are also 
suitable for pot culture and if planted in pots or boxes and stored in 
cold frames until they show buds, and then brought into heat, they may 
be had in bloom from April on.
