BARR’S SPANISH IRIS- June-flowering. 
The Finest Collection Existing. 
These Spanish Irises (Iris Xiphion) 
flower a fortnight before the English, and differ 
from them considerably, the colours of the 
flowers being showier and more varied. . 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.
