IRISES. 
These may be called the “ Orchids ” of the flower garden, their blossoms competing in richness 
and variety of colour with the choicest and the most beautiful Orchids. They should be extensively planted 
in flower and shrubbery borders, and naturalised ; a judicious selection will give a display of bloom from 
Christmas to August. See our Hardy Plant Catalogue for all kinds of Flag Irises. 
BARR’S ENGLISH IRIS.— June to July-flowering. 
The Finest Collection Existing. 
These magnificent English Irises (I. xiphioides) thrive in any ordinary garden soil. The 
earlier the planting , after beginning of September , the greater the success, although the bulbs may be 
put in as late as December. The varieties contained in our collection we have specially selected as 
being the linest and most distinct, and they will 
be found as strikingly beautiful in colour as 
the most sumptuous Orchids of the hothouse. 
They flower from end of June to beginning of 
July, thus succeeding the Bearded Flag Irises 
and Spanish Irises. As cut flowers they take 
a first place.

to signify Standards or the erect petals ; F. Falls, 
or the drooping petals. The heights given are 
those recorded at our Nurseries, but they may differ 
a little according to soil, season, and climate.

the relative time of flowering; thus those marked
