Glorious Bulbous IRIS 

 DUTCH, SPANISH, & ENGLISH 



These Hardy Iris must be planted in the Fall 



Iris will give your garden a maze of sparkling splendor — and is the garden really 

 complete without these dainty touches of color? 



These Iris differ from the Bearded and Oriental by producing bulbs instead of 

 rhizomes. These must be planted in the fall, the earlier the better and they have proved 

 quite hardy. Where winters are very severe they should be covered deeply with straw, 

 hay, or leaves. Excepting the English Iris they form foliage in the fall with the leaves 

 persisting throughout the winter. Cover the bulbs 4 to 6 inches deep.
