Dutch Iris 



Large Flowering Early Xiphiums 



The flowers of the Dutch Iris are broader, the falls usually wider apart and the 

 lips larger than the Spanish type. They are about two weeks earlier, blooming 

 right after the Cottage Tulips. Wonderful for cutting, opening nicely even if cut 

 in bud, and lasting a long time. 



Hart Nibrig. Standards brilliant deep blue, falls, a lovely light azure with 

 golden blotch. 



Huchtenburg. Falls deep yellow with fine golden orange blotch, standards 



lovely pale blue, fine tints which are seldom found together in flowers. 

 Imperator. Deep blue. Excellent forcer. 

 Poggenbeek. Standards and falls uniform dark blue. 



White Excelsior. Extra large snow white, lips carry narrow feather of golden 



orange as if to accentuate the dominant coloring.

Lily of the Valley 



One of the most charming of spring-flowering plants, and can readily be flowered in 

 the house. The simplest method for indoor culture is to place a bundle of 25 pips in a 

 7 or 8-inch pot, filling it up with sand, moss, light soil or bulb fibre, allowing the points 

 of the pips to be about an inch above the surface. They should then be placed out of 

 doors and brought indoors as wanted, and put in a shaded place in a temperature of about 

 70 degrees, and when the spikes are 3 to 4 inches high they may be brought to where 

 they are to perfect their flowers. We recommend clumps as most suitable for outdoor 

 planting.
