BARR’S SPANISH IRIS -June-flowering. 
The Finest Collection Existing. 
These Spanish Irises (Iris Xiphium) flower a fortnight before the English, and differ from them 
considerably in colour and form. The curious and charming blendings of shades in the same flower 
give them the appearance of many of our rare orchids, with which they can well compete in grace 
and beauty. For vases and bouquets the cut flowers are greatly prized, as they last long when cut, and 
the buds open well in water. For filling flower-beds and massing in borders these elegant Irises are of 
the greatest value. The varieties forming our collection are the finest and most distinct in 
cultivation. They are easily grown in any good light soil either in an open or partially shaded situation. 
They will also bear very gentle forcing in pots, but this should not be attempted until the flower buds 
are developing.
