SPANISH IRIS (THE SMALL BULBOUS IRIS OF SPAIN). 
The Spanish Iris are in flower a fortnight before the English, and differ considerably, the flowers being 
smaller, and the combination of colours quite different ; the blendings of the colours are more curious, and in 
this respect may be compared with the more rare of the curiously coloured orchids. They require the same 
cultural treatment as the English Iris. See coloured plate in The Garden, 1881. 
CST We exhibit annually cut flowers of the Spanish Iris at the Meetings of the Royal Horticultural Society.

BULBOUS IRIS, VARIOUS. 
Under this heading all the Iris are hardy and beautiful. A lata flowers variously from September to 
Christmas. Histrio , if the weather is open, flowers at Christmas ; Reticulata follows soon after, and if grown under 
glass its delicately fragrant flowers may be enjoyed with the early forced bulbs in December. Out of doors 
Reticulata continues decorative from February till April, expanding its sweet-scented blossoms at a temperature 
too low even for the Narcissus to bloom. Persica flowers about the same time as Reticulata, the blossoms 
emitting a delicate violet perfume, and is equally prized in the conservatory and flower garden. Pavonia (the 
Peacock Iris) expands its delicately coloured flowers in May and June, and requires to be cultivated the same 
as the Ixia. Caucasica has primrose-coloured flowers, and its light green foliage is silver-margined. Lusitanica 
and Juncea are remarkable for their rich yellow flowers : Lusitanica sordida is a noble plant. each— 9. d.
