, vm. xuum cece, Hardy bulbs. 
The English and Spanish Iris embrace so much that is rare and beautiful in the combinations of their colours, 
that the only plants to compare them with are the rare and beautiful tropical orchids, the Lalias, Cattleyas, and 
Oncidiums. The Bearded Flag Iris for mixed borders and surrounding artificial lakes and ponds, is 
unrivalled ; a single plant will produce a hundred spikes of bloom, and may be had tn an infinite variety of colour, 
from the richest yellow, the intensest purple, the most delicate blue, the softest mauve, the most beautiful claret- 
red, to whites and primroses ; of bronzes the shades are innumerable, and the combinations indescribable. These 
are best had in plants. See descriptive list, p. yi.
