NEW GIANT EARLY XIPHIUM IRISES. 
This new race of Irises was raised by Mr. C. G. Van Tubergen, by crossing Iris tingilana. 
Iris Boissieri, and other Xiphium Irises, and during the last ten years they have been carefully 
selected and improved upon. They differ from the Spanish Irises in flowering a fortnight earlier 
(commencing to bloom about end of May), and having larger flowers of greater substance, while 
the foliage is very broad and glaucous. They will be found valuable in giving a decoration in the 
garden in the period intervening between the late Cottage Tulips and the Spanish Iiises. Their 
colours are bright and attractive. In very cold districts they should be given slight protection from 
frost during winter. per do/, each

VARIOUS BEAUTIFUL 
BULBOUS AND TUBEROUS-ROOTED IRISES. 
These Iris Species are all hardy and beautiful, flowering one after the other from November tc 
June. The dwarf early species will be more enjoyed if planted on rockwork, where the flowers have a little 
protection from heavy rains. Alala, Reticulata var. Histrio and Histrioides, and Vartani are charming 
Winter-flowering species, followed in February by I. reticulata, with its lovely violet-scented blossoms, 
the sweet-scented I. persica, Bakcriana, Danfordia, and the beautiful species I. Rosenbachtana and 
Sindpers. Next in succession come the interesting Bucharica, Caucasica, Grant Dufli, Orchioides, 
Warleyensis, Willmottiana, the curious Snakeshead Iris tuberosa, and the species I. Sindjarensis and 
assyriaca. The pretty Peacock Iris (/. pavonia), and Iris flavissima flower in May, and are followed in 
June by Irises juncea , Boissieri, lusitanica, and tingitana. 
The Irises marked J belong to the Juno section, and thrive best planted in rich light or sandy 
soil with a light dressing of old manure. As they are mostly winter and early spring-flowering species 
give them a position protected from the early morning sun.
