SUNDRY SPECIES OF BEARDLESS IRIS. 
Under this heading we enumerate a few species of Iris more or less rare and beautiful. Amongst the most 
noteworthy, /. Iberica, ranks foremost, it is of dwarf growth, with large and beautiful flowers, in which are curious 
combinations of colour. Our illustration, page 19 , represents the flower of this plant. Cristata, with its 
amethystine flowers and close dwarf growth, succeeds best in well-drained borders, or on rockwork. Susiana, 
has large flowers of rare beauty. Sibirica is distinguished by its long narrow leaves and small orchid-like 
flowers, Stylosa by its winter blooming, Sanguinea by its lovely coloured flowers, Ruthenica by its dwarf fan-like 
foliage, and Tuberosa by its fantastic flowers in March ; while Versicolor and Virginica are remarkable for their 
dwarfer growth, and neat, beautiful flowers, which are admirably adapted for smaU bouquets, finger glasses, etc. 
Thus we might describe each of those enumerated. #, d.

IRIS PUMILA OR DWARF IRIS. 
Charming varieties, growing from 6 to 12 inches high, and in flower during March, April, and May. Fu.' 
groups in small borders, and as edgings to Rhododendron beds, herbaceous borders, etc., they are invaluable, 
succeeding in almost any soil and situation. The permanency of the blossom is enhanced however, in places 
where they are slightly protected from cutting winds and hot sunshine. 
In the descriptions S. is used to signify Standards, or the erect petals; P., Falls, or the drooping petals.
