SPANISH IRIS (THE SMALL BULBOUS IRIS OF SPAIN). 
The Spanish Iris flowers a fortnight earlier than the English Iris, from which it differs considerably; the flowers 
are smaller, the combination of colours altogether different, and the blendings more curious, in this respect resem- 
bling the more rare and curious of the orchids. They require the same cultural treatment as the English Iris. 
We annually exhibit flowers of the Spanish Iris at the meetings of the Royal Horticultural Society.

SUNDRY BULBOUS IRIS. 
The Iris offered under this heading are all hardy and beautiful. Alata flowers variously from September to 
Christmas. Histrio, weather permitting, flowers at Christmas; Reticulata follows soon after, and grown under glass 
it can be had in flower with the early forced bulbs ; it is delicately fragrant, and the colours intensely rich, a most 
charming pot plant. In the flower garden. Reticulata is valuable, continuing decorative from February till April, 
expanding its sweet-scented flowers at a temperature too low even for the Narcissus to bloom. Persica flowers 
about the same time as Reticulata, emitting a delicate violet perfume, and is prized equally in the conservatory 
and flower garden. Pavonia (the Peacock Iris), more correctly Morea Pavonia or l^ieusseuxia Pavonina, 
expands its delicately coloured flowers in May and June, and should have the same cultural treatment as the Ixia. 
Caucasica is a very characteristic plant, the flowers are primrose-coloured, and the foliage silver-margined. 
Lusitancia is remarkable for its rich yellow flowers : and Lusitancia sordida is a noble plant. s. d.
