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



SPANISH IRIS 



FOR FORCING. 



'HESE almost equal orchids in beauty of coloring \y 

 and delicacy of perfume — the flowers are of great 

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

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

 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 March on, and will 

 give great satisfaction.
