ROMAN HYACINTHS. 
BARR’S ‘EXTRA EARLY’ WHITE ROMAN HYACINTH. 
These Extra Early White Roman Hyacinths have been grown specially for us in a warm 
climate, and have thereby gained a superiority over the French-grown Homan Hyacinths in flowering a 
fortnight or three weeks earlier and in blooming more freely. IVe can strongly recommend them. The 
elegant little sweet-scented flower spikes may be had in bloom during October, November, and December, 
if the bulbs are potted up early and forced in succession. They are greatly prized for bouquets, while the 
individual flowers are of great value for buttonholes. {For Cultural Directions see page 1 . )

IRISES. These may be called the ‘Orchids’ of the flower garden, their blossoms competing 
in richness and variety of colour with the choicest and the most beautiful Orchids. They should be 
extensively planted in flower and shrubbery borders, and naturalised ; a judicious selection will 
give a display of bloom from Christmas to August. See our Hardy Plant Catalogue for all kinds 
of Flag Irises. 
BARR’S June-flowering ENGLISH IRIS. 
(THE LARGE-FLOWERED BULBOUS IRIS OF THE PYRENEES.) 
These magnificent Irises thrive in any ordinary garden soil ; when the soil is very heavy, 
surround the bulbs with sand, and see well to drainage. The earlier the planting, after beginning 
of September, the greater the success, although the bulbs may be put in as late as December. The 
varieties contained in our collection we have specially selected as being the finest and most distinct, 
and they will be found as strikingly beautiful and varied in colour as the most sumptuous Orchids of 
the hothouse. They flower in June, thus succeeding the Bearded Flag Irises. As cut 
flowers they take a flrst place. 
HSS?“' Our Annual Exhibits of cut flowers of these grand Irises at the I.ondon Summer 
Shows and at King Street, Covent Garden, attract much attention and elicit great admiration.
