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 GRAND ENGLISH IRISES. 
June to July-flowering. 
These magnificent English Irises (I. xiphioides) thrive in any ordinary garden soil. The earlier 
the planting , 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 many of the 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.
