BEARDED IRIS. 
Iris Barbata— continued. 
used this Iris for surrounding artificial lakes and ponds, or grown it in the flower borders, shrubberies, and 
woodland walks, should do so. It is also most valuable wherever a large quantity of cut flowers is required 
from May to July, as plants when established, will, with good cultivation, increase in size annually till they attain 
large proportions, each plant yielding 5° 1 ° 100 spikes of bloom.

We have arranged the Iris Barbata in natural groups to facilitate amateurs in making selections. Each 
group has a distinctive characteristic. Germanica flowers first, and is represented by the blue, purple, and white 
Flag Iris of our gardens ; they flower at the same time, and are extremely decorative in May. Aphylla 
embraces the species Plicata and Swertii ; the Standards have a frill-like appearance arising from the marginal 
coloured transverse lines on a white ground. Amcena has the standards white, or approaching to white. 
Neglecta has the standards purple, or approaching to purple. Pallida has the standards ranging from pale 
lavender to rose-lilac. Squalens embraces those with the standards bronzed ; and Variegata has the standards 
invariably yellow. 8 . d„
