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 . 
C vr We exhibit annually cut flowers of the Spanish Iris at the Meetings of the Royal Horticultural Society.
