IRISES. 
These may be called the “Orchids” of the flower garden, their blossoms competing in richness 
and variety of colour with the choicest and the most beautiful Orchids. They should be extensively planted 
in flower and shrubbery borders, and naturalised ; a judicious selection will give a display of bloom from 
Christmas to August. See our Hardy Plant Catalogue for all kinds of Flag Irises. 
BARR’S ENGLISH IRISES.— June to July-flowering^. 
The Finest Collection Existing. 
These magniflcent English Irises (I. xiphioides) thrive in any ordinary garden soil. The 
earlier the plantings after beginning of September^ the greater the success^ although the bulbs may be 
put in as late as December. The varieties contained in our collection we have specially selected as 
being the finest and most distinct, and they will be found as strikingly beautiful in colour as. 
the most sumptuous Orchids of the hothouse. 
They flower from end of June to beginning of 
July, thus succeeding the Bearded Flag Irises 
and Spanish Irises* As cut flowers they take 
a first place.
