group of Spanish miSES (Very much reduced). . 
The Spanish Irises flower a fortnight 
before the English, and differ from them con- 
siderably, 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 w r atcr. For filling flower-beds and 
massing in borders these elegant Irises are of 
the greatest value. The varieties contained 
in our collection are the finest and most distinct 
in cultivation. The cultural treatment is the 
same as for the English Iris, while - they will 
thrive either in an open or partially shaded 
situation. This Iris will also bear very gentle 
forcing in pots, but this should not be at- 
tempted until the flower buds are developing.
