 stately and a glorious plant. And itscidtureis

SPANISH IRIS. 



(Iris Hispanica). 



It is difficult f-o conceive the wild beauty of these 

 lovely flowers without seeing them, and to describe 

 them correctly is impossible. This lovely Iris has not 

 received the attention it so well merits, simply because 

 people have not known it, but it is now being appreci- 

 ated and is rapidly becoming " the rage." The flowers 

 are as quaint and beautiful in form as orchids, often 

 weird and fantastic, and in color they vary in wide 

 extent from pure white to deep pm'ple, passing through 

 various shades of yellow and blue. The colors are won- 

 derfully clear and strong, and exquisitely blended. 

 The flowers yield also a pleasant fragrance and the 

 plant is so free-flowering that a pot of it furnishes a 

 mass of bloom for a long time. These Irises are per- 

 fectly hardy and form beautiful beds or groups in the 

 border, but their greatest value lies in the ease with 

 which they may be flowered in winter, being admirably 

 adapted for potculture, and they are now being largely 

 grown for cut flowers. Plant four to six bulbs in a six 

 inch pot and keep cool and dark until thoroughly root- 

 ed, when they may be brought to the window. No 

 '^r>e-) who wishes for beautiful winter bloom, should fail 

 to T)lant some bulbs of this delightful Iris.
