New Hybrid Alpine Iris. 



An entirely new and distinct race, the result of over 20 years'

 of Guernsey. All are perfectly hardy and useful, not only in 

 the hardy border, but also for forcing, as with the minimum of 

 heat they can readily be flowered in January and February.

Iris Pnmila Hybrida. 



A cross between the dwarf early flowering I. pumila and 

 the large-flowering /. germanica. Their period of flowering 

 is a trifle later than the pumila section, with flowers almost 

 as large, showy and attractive as the German Iris. Our 

 trials of these varieties in the hardy border the past season, 

 as well as earlier forcings under glass, have fully convinced 

 us of their desirability for both purposes. 

 Cyanea. Rich royal purple, with blackish shadings. 

 Eburna. Pure white, with creamy-white shadings. 

 Florida. A beautiful lemon-yellow, shaded darker. 

 Formosa. Upper petals deep violet-blue, lower petals light
