AN IRI S 
SPANISH IRIS or Iris 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 
different varieties of Spanish Iris so closely resemble the markings ol 
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 trom April on.

These the true Fleur-de-Lis—but greatly improved—are well termed 
and they fairly outrival the orchids in wide range of coloring—both in dainty combinations 
and rich and vivid colors including yellows from light canary to deep golden; blues from soft 
lavender to intense purples, reds from pinkish mauve to claret and maroon, beautiful bronzes 
and pure whites, then some are marked and margined with other colors in exquisite harmony 
and all have showy yellow or orange crests or beards, many of the varieties are delightfully
