THE BLUE BOOK OF BULBS 



Iris HoIIandica 



The Dutch Irises are a new race produced by crossing the 

 various forms of the Xiphium, or bulbous Irises. The intro- 

 duction of this type lengthens the flowering season for the bulbous 

 Irises vary materially, as they begin to flower fully two weeks 

 before the Iris Hispanicay toward the end of May. Then the 

 English Irises carry the season of bloom, to the early part of July. 

 The culture is the same as that of the Spanish Irises.
