IRIS— New Giant Early Xiphium. 
This new race of Irises was raised by Mr. C. G. Van Tubergen, by crossing Iris tingilana. 
Iris Boissieri , and other Xiphium Irises, and during the last ten years they have been carefully 
selected and improved upon. They differ from the Spanish Irises in flowering a fortnight earlier 
(commencing to bloom about end of May), and having larger flowers of greater substance, while 
the foliage is very broad and glaucous. They will be found valuable in giving a decoration in the 
garden in the period intervening between the late Cottage Tulips and the Spanish Irises. Their 
colours are bright and attractive. In very cold districts they should be given slight protection from 
frost during winter.
