DUTCH IRIS 



These bulbous iris are among the prettiest of all spring 

 flowers for cutting or garden decoration. Being orchid- 

 like in their beauty of form and color, they are choice 

 subjects for table arrangements and corsages. Millions 

 are forced yearly for the early cut flower trade and be- 

 cause of heavy demands present stocks will not be 

 sufficient to supply late customers.

 delivery at the proper planting time.

 soil having good winter drainage. In colder climates, 

 provide a mulch. They fiower from early May into June.

WEDGWOOD 



$1.00 per Doz. ; 25 for $1.75 



A very large hybrid Dutch iris blooming much earlier than the 

 varieties listed above, with huge flowers of lovely azure blue and 

 a golden spot in center. Not hardy in New England and the 

 northern states, but excellent for forcing in the small greenhouse . 

 In less severe climates it is perfectly at home in the garden, where 

 it makes a wonderful showing blooming along with the tulips, 

 azaleas and lilacs. Nothing else approaches its sky blu2 color.
