SPANISH IRIS (THE ORCHID-LIKE BULBOUS IRIS OF SPAIN). 
Bulbs supplied September to December. 
The Spanish Trises are in flower a fortnight before the English, and differ from them considerably, the 
flowers being smaller, and the arrangement of colours quite different. In the combinations and curious 
blendings of the shades, 1 lie flowers equal in beauty many of the rare orchids. To cut for vases and bouquets 
they are greatly prized. They require the same cultural treatment as the English Iris. See coloured plate in 
The Garden, 1881 . 
£2T Our annual exhibits of cut blooms of these beautiful Irises, at the London Summer Shows, form 
a great feature of atira:tion.
