Spanish Iris 
Spanish Irish grow from bulbs and make a stem two feet high, with flowers of exquisite shading 
and texture. Spanish Iris is earlier and shorter than English, and, being so cheap, many thousands 
arc planted each year. They look best planted in mass. All Spanish Iris have a yellow blotch just 
where the lower petals begin. Our list contains new varieties never offered before and which are 
very beautiful. 
After flowering, the bulbs may either be lifted or allowed to remain for another season. The 
v arieties contained in our collection are the finest and most distinct in cultivation.
