ENGLISH IRIS {insAngUca)

 flowers are nearly as large as the Japanese Iris, and colors are unique 

 and various. They grow from 18 to 20 inches high and are perfectly 

 hardy. They flower after the German Iris and before the Japanese, 

 making a good succession of bloom. (See illustration.) We offer

SPANISH IRIS Uris Hispanica)
