GROUP OF ENGLISH IRISES (f'zry ntuch reduced). 
IRISES. 
These may be called the “ Orchids ” of the 
flower garden, their blossoms competing in 
richness and variety of colour with the choieest 
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 Catalogtce for all 
kinds of Flag Irises. 
BARR’S ENGLISH IRISES.- 
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 Sep- 
tember, 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 finest and most distinct, and 
they will be found as strikingly beautiful in colour 
as many of the 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.
