BARR’S SPANISH IRIS, June-flowering. 
(THE ORCHID-LIKE BULBOUS IRIS OF SPAIN). 
The Spanish Irises flower a fortnight before the English, and differ also considerably, the flowers being 
smaller, and the colours quite different in the curious and charming blendings of shades m the same flower, 
which give them the appearance of many of our rare orchids, which they compete with in grace and 
beauty. The cut flowers are greatly prized for vases and bouquets. Cultural treatment saute «±f or the Fnglish 
Iris. As pot plants theyare now much used, and may be gently forced. See Coloured Plate m TheGarden, 1881. 
<S2T Our Annual Exhibits of cut blooms of these beautiful Irises form a great feature of attraction.
