BARR’S BEAUTIFUL SPANISH IRISES. 
June-flowering. 
These Spanish Irises (Iris Xiphium) flower a fortnight before the Lnghsh, and ^ 
considerably m colour and form. The curious and charming blendings of shades m the same flower 
give tlwm ^the appearance of many of our rare orchids, with which they can wel compete in grace 
Ld beauty. For^^ vases and bouquets the cut flowers are greatly prized, as they last "hen ^ 
the buds open well in water. For flower-beds and massing m borders they are of the gre.atest value. 
The varieties forming our collection are the finest and most distinct in cultivation. They 
ar 7 e. 7 sdy grown in any good light soil either in an open or partial y shaded s. ua ion. They will also 
bear very gentle forcing in pots, but this should not be attempted until the flower buds are developi g.
