Irices may be called ‘Orch’ds’ of the flower garden, their blossoms competing 
«n 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 sec well to drainage. The earlier the planting, after beginning 
of September, the greater the success, although the bulbs may he 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 hotuousc. They flower in j\mc, thus succeeding’ the Bearded Flag: Irises. As cut 
flowers they take a first place. 
Our Annual Exhibits of cut flowers of these grand Irises at the London Summer 
Shows and at King Street, Govern Garden, attract much attention and elicit great admiration.
